Ganemos or Guanyem refers to a set of independent municipal initiatives in Spain seeking to create and improve mechanisms for more direct citizen participation in politics. The movement, like 15M, was initiated during the Spanish financial crisis amidst a growing perception of, and disdain for, corruption, privatization, a closed nature of primaries, and political stagnancy caused by the two-party system.[1][2] Ganemos is used for Spanish-speaking communities and Guanyem for Catalan-speaking communities. In Galicia, similar lists were called Mareas ("tides").
