Resumen

VICO, Eva Aladro  y  REY, Paula Requeijo. Interest and political participation of Madrid's pre-university students in the new political scenario. OBS* [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.2, pp.93-120. ISSN 1646-5954.  https://doi.org/10.15847/obsOBS14220201560.

This paper investigates the interest and political participation of Madrid pre-university students in the new political Spanish scenario. A wide bibliographic review of international and national studies is developed. The results of a survey involving 250 pre-university students in Madrid is also are analyzed. The study results reveal that support of parties and leaders is very low. However, the interest in politics and the evaluation of the vote are very high. Besides, unconventional mechanisms such as social movements, strikes, demonstrations and the social networks achieve an important support. Young people get informed about politics through digital newspapers, televisions and social networks. The paper concludes that Madrid's pre-university students have interest in politics but they feel disaffection towards parties and their leaders. The distancing and rejection is directed to the functioning of democracy, not to democracy itself. It is urgent to renew and regenerate the conventional political structures to reconnect with this group.

Palabras clave : interest; political participation; preuniversity students; new political scene; Spain; Madrid.
