By Julien Toyer, Inmaculada Sanz and Carlos Ruano

MADRID, March 8 (Reuters) - Europe must stop its 緊縮 政策s or watch far-権利 movements continue to grow and 提起する/ポーズをとる a real danger to 僕主主義, said Pablo Iglesias, leader of Spain's Podemos party that like Greece's Syriza 目的(とする)s to 申し込む/申し出 a 左派の(人) 代案/選択肢.

In an interview with Reuters, the 36-year-old whose Podemos ('We Can') party is 主要な some 選挙 投票s, also said any 連合 between Spain's centre-権利 and centre-left would only 長引かせる what he called the country's 経済的な 災害.

Spain is 現れるing from a seven-year 経済的な 低迷 as one of the euro zone's fastest growing nations. But the 出口 from 後退,不況 has yet to 緩和する the hardship for millions of 世帯s and nearly one in four of the 全労働人口 is still out of a 職業.

A weariness with 緊縮 has made 投票者s across Europe susceptible to the rhetoric of anti-移民,移住(する) 右翼 parties that are playing to their discontent with suggestions that the European Union has let them 負かす/撃墜する.

While the far-権利 has made little ground in Spain - public unhappiness has translated instead into anti-資本主義者 and anti-設立 movements - Iglesias said he was 関心d about the 増加するd attraction for some 投票者s of movements like Greece's Golden 夜明け and フラン's 国家の 前線.

"It is very important to 受託する the 手渡す outstretched by those like us who are プロの/賛成の-European, those who defend the European 事業/計画(する)," said Iglesias, a university professor, from his office overlooking the Square of Spain in central Madrid.

さもなければ, he 警告するd: "Perhaps in one year's time (フラン's far-権利 leader) 海洋 Le Pen will have a seat at the Eurogroup. One should ask (German (ドイツなどの)首相/(大学の)学長 Angela) Merkel if she'd rather sit 負かす/撃墜する with 海洋 Le Pen or with me."

He told Reuters that while Podemos was 用心深い of opinion 投票s that put the party ahead of the 判決,裁定's People's Party (PP) and the 対立 社会主義者 Party, it is nonetheless 目的(とする)ing to 勝利,勝つ an 絶対の 大多数 in the 総選挙 that is 推定する/予想するd to take place by the end of the year.

"I have the impression that if it doesn't happen there could be in this country a grand 連合 like those which have 支配するd in so many other European countries," Iglesias said.

"They would continue the 政策s that have taken us to 災害."

"DO THINGS BETTER"

Spain's one 一兆-euro 負債 is nearly 100 パーセント of GDP and 利益/興味 支払い(額)s are becoming one of the biggest parts of the country's 国家の 予算.

Podemos has called for a 再編成 of the 負債 and while Iglesias 定評のある this and other 経済的な steps could 直面する 抵抗 - Greece's new Syriza 政府 is struggling to ひったくる 支配(する)/統制する of 経済的な 政策 from international creditors - he said the EU would have to listen "本気で" to its fourth-biggest economy.

"The 緊縮 政策s are taking us closer to 大混乱 and we can do things better than what has been done," he said.

Podemos, which produced a majo r shock by winning five seats in 選挙s for the European 議会 in May last year, 計画(する)s to 達成する 経済成長 by 上げるing public spending and 内部の 需要・要求する.

It has said in its 選挙 manifesto it would 改革(する) the 税金 system to 転換 the 重荷(を負わせる) from 労働 to 資本/首都, 引き上げ(る) 税金 率s for the wealthiest and give 税金 視察官s greater 力/強力にするs to fight 税金 回避 and 増加する the 政府's 歳入s.

The party (機の)カム under 解雇する/砲火/射撃 for 誓約(する)ing to default on the 国家の 負債 and nationalise the country's main 公共事業(料金)/有用性s.

Since then it has 列/漕ぐ/騒動d 支援する on those 誓約(する)s in a move that 分析家s say 論証するs its ambition to 逮捕(する) centre-left 投票(する)s too.

In 新規加入 to now 説 it would talk to creditors about 負債 再編成, Podemos says it would discuss with energy and water companies how to 供給する a cheaper service for those who are in a 状況/情勢 of poverty.

Iglesias said he would also make a 優先 of stopping house evictions.

A 最近の 投票 showed one in four who 投票(する)d for the 社会主義者s in 2011 would cast their 投票(する) for Podemos if the 選挙 was held today. In the 事例/患者 of the former 共産主義者s of Izquierda Unida, the 割合 would be closer to one in two.

Pony-tailed Iglesias, who was known for his たびたび(訪れる) 外見s on political TV shows before 設立するing Podemos a year ago, said last month the party was now the only real 対立 to the centre-権利 政府 of Rajoy.

A Metroscopia 投票 解放(する)d by Spanish newspaper El Pais on Sunday showed Podemos would 勝利,勝つ a 総選挙 if it was held today, ahead of the 社会主義者s, the PP and other anti-設立 party Ciudadanos, for which support has also 殺到するd in 最近の months. (Editing by Sophie Walker)
