Empty Spain

The Empty Spain (Spanish: España Vaciada, EV), whose name derives from the coined term to refer to Spain's rural and largely unpopulated interior provinces,[1] is a political platform in Spain formed by a large number of citizen collectives and associations that aims at contesting the next Spanish general election, inspired by the success of the Teruel Existe candidacy (Spanish for "Teruel Exists") in the November 2019 general election.[2][3] It was registered as a political party on 30 September 2021.[4] By November 2021, it was confirmed that over 160 collectives and associations from about 30 Spanish provinces committed themselves to finalizing the electoral platform before January 2022.[5][6] On 30 November, national deputy and member of Teruel Existe, Tomás Guitarte, confirmed their intention to contest the next national elections as a single candidacy.[7]
