Abstract

The present situation of economic crisis soon enough entailed a state of political crisis as well. Citizens are losing their faith in the political parties and the institutions who should safeguard them. When comparing Italy and Spain, it is easy to observe a number of similarities between the two countries: the economical crisis brought the birth of two political parties whose subtle and skillful exploitation of means of communication gave rise to their considerable popularity. Podemos and Movimento 5Stelle could be considered as representatives of a proper revolutionary approach to media and communication systems.
