Between ‘the Spain you want is feminist’ and ‘out of gender chiringuitos’: feminism and LGTBI collective from the 2019 General Elections
Abstract
The aim of this research is to analyze the political discourse about gender in the electoral campaign of PSOE and Vox in the 28A general elections in Spain. For this, we study the messages on the social network Twitter between April 12 and 26, in 2019 through a qualitative study. The analysis of the two political parties confirms a growing political and social polarization, especially accentuated in gender issues and women's rights. These two forces have been chosen because they are considered antagonistic in their discourse on the subject and because of their different political positions (Government and opposition). The polarization in the discourses was reflected in the social network where the PSOE used hashtags such as #LaEspañaQueQuieresEsFeminista, #NiUnPasoAtrás, #NoEsNo, while Vox chose #NoHablesEnMiNombre, #FueraChiringuitosDeGénero or #FemiMarxistas.
