The massive participation of young people regarding political events was muted for many years. However, with the positioning of communications globally, the millennial generation is becoming more and more involved. Thus, in the framework of representative democracy of revealing an increasingly active participation, young people now communicate their feelings and their position, showing their agreement or disagreement with political decisions and events. Starting from this premise, and with a mixed approach, a questionnaire of 16 questions was applied to 3474 millennials, students of higher and technological institutes located in Lima. Furthermore, an analysis was carried out of the statements of academics and heads of state, as well as international cases where the participation of this generation stands out, as happened in the Arab Spring and in other events that occurred in South America, to glimpse the gaps that are open in the political structure of Peru.
