Adelante Andalucía (English: "Forward Andalusia") is an Andalusian regionalist political party and coalition led by former Podemos Andalusia leader Teresa Rodríguez. The party was established as a refoundation from the late Adelante Andalucía electoral alliance formed by Podemos and United Left/The Greens–Assembly for Andalusia.[1]

After announcing their intention to leave Podemos in February 2020, Teresa Rodríguez and the rest of the ex-Podemos parliamentarians affiliated with Anti-capitalists (Anticapitalistas) were subject to an expulsion from their parliamentary group in October 2020.[2] The party was eventually refounded as a left-wing nationalist organisation in June 2021,[3] with the participation of Anticapitalistas, Andalusian Spring (Primavera Andaluza), Andalusian Left (IzA) and Defend Andalusia (Defender Andalucía).[4]
