Abstract

During 2008, economic crisis erupted in Spain, as part of a wave of global financial crisis that began in 2017/08 year, and which overflowed over the entire Spanish economy and comerce over time. The subject of this paper are the political consequences that Spain left behind this crisis. We will first analyze the emergence and development of the Spanish economic crisis. We will then examine the changes in the Spanish political scene that arose as a result of the general dissatisfaction of Spanish society in the crisis years. Our goal is to spot and see these changes - the emergence of the social movement Indignados, then the powerful left-wing party Podemos, and the extreme right-wing party Vox. We will also consider the impact of the economic crisis on the change of government in the observed period (2008- 2018), the attitude towards the European Union, and the revival of separatism in Catalonia. In conclusion, we will outline the results of the research that indicate the strong impact of the economic crisis on the change in the political scene in Spain. In this paper we will use statistical analysis and comparative method.
