# 2016–2017 Podemos state party assembly

The 2016−2017 Podemos state assembly—officially the 2nd Citizen Assembly, and more informally referred to as Vistalegre II—was held between 7 December 2016 and 12 February 2017. Party members would be able to vote on the party's strategic proposals as well as the new leadership composition from February 4 to February 11. While Pablo Iglesias's re-election bid as Secretary General was not disputed, there was strong media interest in the assembly because of a strong internal debate between Iglesias and his Political Secretary, Íñigo Errejón, on the party's strategy and main lines of action for the ensuing years.
