Miriam González launches Democracia21 ahead of Spain’s 29 November elections
Miriam González, a lawyer from Valladolid, has launched a new Spanish political party called Democracia21 in Madrid.
She plans to run in the elections scheduled for 29 November, seeking to win seats in Spain’s Congress of Deputies.
González says the party aims to modernise the state and improve how democracy works, rather than follow the established political structures.
She has previously led the policy platform España Mejor and founded a charity that supports girls’ ambitions.
Democracia21 proposes lowering housing taxes for people under 35, reducing political influence over the judiciary’s governing body and creating specialised courts to fight corruption.
González says Spain needs more social mobility and greater political consensus.
The party’s next step is to contest the elections; the account gives no results or further campaign timetable.

The party proposes housing-tax cuts for people under 35, changes to judicial governance and specialised anti-corruption courts.
González is a lawyer specialising in international trade and previously founded the España Mejor platform and Inspiring Girls International.
