Felipe González Márquez (born March 5, 1942) is a Spanish socialist politician. He was the General Secretary of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) from 1974 to 1997.
Felipe identified as a member of the podemos party
The podemos party is the left-wing part of Spain, however the statement doesn't say that Felipe's views aligned him with this particular party. This is why I feel the system had difficulty, and that it confused Felipe's views with what a party is.
