Costa del Sol Sí Puede (Spanish for Costa del Sol Can, CSSP) is a political platform of popular unity, formed as an "instrumental party" that presented lists for the local elections of 2015 and 2019 in the comarca of Costa del Sol with a common platform. CSSP was supported by Podemos, Equo and local social collectives and movements. IULV-CA chose not to join the coalition. Since the 2015 elections, CSSP has moved on and is a totally independent party, with no relation to others. CSSP submits lists to the municipal elections in May 2019 in Torremolinos, Benalmadena, Mijas and Fuengirola.[1] They lost all political power they had and the support of main political parties (Podemos, Equo, ...).
