LA POLARIZACIÓN EN TORNO A LA MONARQUÍA ESPAÑOLA EN TWITTER: EL CASO DE LAS EFEMÉRIDES HISTÓRICAS.

Since the beginning of the reign of Juan Carlos I, the media maintained a complicit stance with the figure of Juan Carlos I. This attitude changed with the consolidation of the digital press and social networks, coinciding with a transformation towards a polarized political context. The article analyzes the messages posted on Twitter during 2021 on the anniversaries of the Second Republic (April 1931), the military insurrection of July 1936 and the coup d'état of February 23, (1981). The results show how the messages of these historical anniversaries were the excuse to raise a polarized debate about the present and future of the monarchy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
