Effects of cyberpolitics on contemporary democracy: Perceptions of university professors in Mexico and Spain

The academic study on the relationship between the consumption of information on politics and social media has consolidated in recent years. This research analyzes the relationship from a qualitative approach, addressing the analysis from the perceptions of the professors that were selected, which belonged to social sciences, and two key countries that were chosen to analyze this phenomenon: Mexico and Spain. Similar movements were presented in both countries, in Mexico # YoSoy132 questioned the traditional media, and during the 2018 presidential elections social networks significantly undermined the influence of the once powerful television. Whereas, in the case of Spain, Movement # 15-M was a watershed in the history of that nation, which shaped the political system and gave rise to new political partisan expressions that changed the traditional correlation of forces.
