MADRID (Reuters) - Members of Spanish left-wing party Podemos, born from anti-austerity protests during the financial crisis, will submit its leadership to a confidence vote after the party leader bought a house for over 600,000 euros (525,336 pounds) near Madrid.
Critics have denounced party head Pablo Iglesias and his partner, Podemos' spokeswoman Irene Montero, as hypocrites, saying they were betraying their leftwing principles. The couple, defending the purchase, said the home was for their own use and was not a speculative move into real estate.
