The Peoples Decide (Spanish: Los Pueblos Deciden, Galician: Os Pobos Deciden, Basque: Herriek Erabaki, Aragonese: Os Pueblos Deciden, Asturian: Los Pueblos Deciden; LPD) is a Spanish electoral list in the European Parliament election in 2014 made up from left-wing pro-independence parties.
The head of the list was Josu Juaristi (EH Bildu) followed by Ana Miranda Paz (BNG). The writer Suso de Toro was also present in the list, within the quota of the BNG. If LPD won a single seat, EH Bildu and the BNG agreed to divide the legislature based on the votes of the list in the Basque Country, Navarre and Galicia.

- In Asturies: Andecha Astur[5]
- In Aragón: Puyalón de Cuchas[6]

The Peoples Decide obtained 326,464 votes (2.08%), which allowed the coalition to obtain a MEP. The best results were obtained in the Basque Country and Navarre (autonomies where was the second most voted) and Galicia (where LPD was the fifth most voted list). The candidate of EH Bildu Josu Juaristi will be present in the European parliament the first three and a half years and the candidate BNG, Ana Miranda Paz the remaining year and a half.[7]
