Actúa

Actúa (English: Act) was a Spanish left-wing political party founded by the ex-leader of United Left (IU) Gaspar Llamazares and the former judge Baltasar Garzón.

==History== Actúa was registered as a political party in 2017; it is the continuation of a political platform of the same name. Most of its original members were from Open Left, and were unhappy with the current direction of IU and members of the "Civic Coexistence" platform. The main promoters of the initiative are Gaspar Llamazares and Baltasar Garzón. The first manifesto of the organization was signed, among others, by José Antonio Martín Pallín, Federico Mayor Zaragoza, Cristina Almeida, Lina Gálvez, Teresa Aranguren, Carlos Berzosa, Luis García Montero, Almudena Grandes and Antonio Gutiérrez. After Actúa was registered, some of the signers, like Antonio Gutiérrez or Martín Pallín, distanced themselves from the new party.
