Since the 15M movement appeared in 2011, there has been a high level of
political participation and experimentation within anti-systematic Spanish activism. The
political repertoire has constantly been re-evaluated, with methods constantly revised
and evolving, from the occupation of public spaces to the recent creation of new
political parties. One of the key aspects of these tactical revisions has been the
involvement of anarchist actors in an experimental process of engagement in the
constitutional process. Our study identifies the motivations and theoretical justifications
that have led libertarian activists to recently take the institutional (electoral) path. This
paper stands in the small but growing tradition of works that examine this recent
phenomenon of anarchist-inspired constitutionalism, but uniquely concentrates on a
detailed case study of the anarchist actors linked to the platform Castelló en Moviment
(CsM). As a result it explores that complex and disputed relationships and motivations
that operate within 15M. It thus describes the anarchist influence in recent electoral
developments, and identifies proponents justification for engaging in these previously
rejected methods and highlights some of the doubts raised against this electoral
experiment. [-]
