Is Podemos further to the left than IU? It just seems weird for people to be freaking out about a supposed Chavista when there's a literal communist party.

I used to casually follow Spanish politics since I have a lot of family living there (entirely in Galicia), but I haven't had time over the past couple of years due to a new job. Now I'm curious - why has PSOE's support fallen off so badly despite PP's scandals, and why has the left rallied around Podemos instead? It seemed like Zapatero's government was fairly left-wing, but has the party shifted back towards the middle in the meantime?

They put in place a pretty serious austerity program before they lost the elections.
