After announcing their intention to leave Podemos in February 2020, Teresa Rodríguez and the rest of the ex-Podemos parliamentarians affiliated with Anti-capitalists (Anticapitalistas) were subject to an expulsion from their parliamentary group in October 2020.[2] The party was eventually refounded as a left-wing nationalist organisation in June 2021,[3] with the participation of Anticapitalistas, Andalusian Spring (Primavera Andaluza), Andalusian Left (IzA) and Defend Andalusia (Defender Andalucía).[4]
