Change in Spain will not come from the institutions, whether federal or regional. BNGa and Bildu both have quite wide popular support in Galicia and Euskal Herria, and they’re even arguably very grassroots and have a lot of basis in local democracy and activism. However, they’re fundamentally not revolutionary parties, and there’s only so much you can do through the institutions, especially as an EU member state.
I’m very hopeful for activism in regionalist parts of Spain, such as for example through GKS, but I honestly don’t believe that anything beyond mutual-aid structures and some mild policy may come from institution-oriented parties.
