Análisis del discurso populista en la España actual

Laburpena

In some historical circumstances, political reactions are born which have common discourse characteristics. So, for example, in a situation of social crisis, people represented as a victim of a source of evil from which it is possible to release only by the intercession of a charismatic leader. This sequence, this conjunction of characteristics give as a result a discourse technique within the political language which has been defi ned as populism. The present article aims to study this type of discourse in Spain after the appearance of Podemos, political party which, fi rst adopts a kind of discourse which responds to the model of what Charaudeau defi ned as populism and then gives changing its strategy as he was getting popular support. Populism refuses the political caste but, as we will have the opportunity to see it is a rethorical discourse basically political which in Spain learns from terminological sources of the Latinoamerican left despite of seeking, at the end, the ideological transversality following a similar path to that of the PSOE in the last years of the transition. Lexicon, discourse and ideology are managed effi ciently to reach the power.
