Summary
Friedrich August von Hayek is one of the most distinguished representatives of liberal political theory. His contributions in the fields of economics, political philosophy and law are a must-read for those interested in issues such as market order, the functioning of society and freedom. But his influence in the last century was also due to his ability to see the dangers of the collectivist movements that dominated Europe like few others, whose insight he captured in his best known and most renowned work: The Road to Serfdom (1944). This made him one of the most visible and recognized figures of liberalism, as evidenced throughout his life in works such as The constitution of liberty (1960) and Law, Legislation and Liberty (1979). In them he reflects his fierce defense of freedom, inherited from classical anglo-scottish liberalism, and his criticism of socialism and planning. This research will try to show Hayek's relevance as a political thinker.

Summary
“Fourth Industrial Revolution: The future of the labor market and the training of new generations of workers in Spain. A systematic review” aims to offer a vision of the future Spanish labor market after the changes brought about by the incorporation of new technologies (IoT, AI. Big Data, etc.), and the transformations that the educational system is already undergoing in order to be able to train future generations of workers. Through this systematic review we will be able to observe how this phenomenon presents characteristics of a vastly different nature to those seen in previous industrial revolutions, as well as the challenges it poses for the country on issues such as productivity, employment, new forms of work and the skills needed for its performance, among others.

Summary
In recent years, the European Union has faced a growing wave of Rule of Law violations by some of its Member States. This situation has forced the Union to use the mechanisms available under the founding Treaties, as well as to immerse itself in the creation of new instruments capable of stopping threats to the Rule of Law and democracy. All in all, the Union’s “toolbox” seems to present limitations, both in its components and in the use that European institutions make of it. For this reason, it is concluded that the Union needs to explore new ways of using the mechanisms at its disposal if it wants to obtain better results than those achieved so far. For this task, relying on interesting proposals from the academic field can be a good starting point.

Summary
Richard Wagner was a fundamental figure in 19th century German music. His work is framed in a time of profound social and political changes in the country that the composer knew how to read perfectly to form an operatic canon that ended up becoming one of the cultural and national symbols of the new German state. Wagner was influenced by different philosophical currents of his time but without a doubt, the one that influenced him the most and, above all, the one that most definitively influenced his great creations, was that of Arthur Schopenhauer. At the same time, beyond his role as the artistic creator of German nationalism, Richard Wagner was a man of strong, changing and controversial political and ideological opinions, who went from anarchism to support for the monarchy and who ended up, in recent decades, showing a recalcitrant antisemitism that served as inspiration for future social and political movements in the country. This work aims to trace a philosophical, political and social biography of the figure of Richard Wagner, exploring how his thought and work was influenced by the ideas of Arthur Schopenhauer and how his work and ideas, especially some such as Tristan and Isolde or the cycle of The Ring influenced later German political thought.

Summary
In the present work, we address, through the reading of the magnificent book by Amartya Sen, Development as Freedom, how instrumental freedoms (a concept coined by the Indian author) affect the development of countries. To do so, we will use the quantitative method, specifically linear and multiple regression, using the various instrumental freedoms as regressors. We will consider two models as dependent variables: one more classical, using GDP per capita, and another where the dependent variable is the Human Development Index (HDI), a concept closer to Amartya Sen's framework.

SUMMARY The purpose of this work is to study the climate strategies of the three great world powers today, especially those that are the three climate powers, the European Union, the United States and China. In turn, these strategies will be related to the respective performances of the cases throughout the history of the climate regime and the interrelationships that have occurred between them. Which will lead us to conclude the similarities and differences that these key States currently have at the root of their fight against climate change. Which will predictably guide the future of the climate regime. All this will be carried out through the bibliographic review method.

Summary
Since the industrial revolution until today, greenhouse gas emissions have increased continuously, mainly due to society's energy demand and the technological advances of recent centuries. These emissions have had a notable effect on the climate, producing global warming, changes in the composition of the atmosphere, and various natural disasters. In this context, multiple countries have agreed on measures and regulations that limit the emission of greenhouse gases in order to mitigate the environmental impact that our energy system has on the planet. This work seeks to analyze the policies implemented in the European Union as well as the decarbonization objectives that advocate for the environmental sustainability of the countries. Through a detailed study of the evolution of these policies and their economic, social, and environmental impacts, the most effective measures are determined as well as the key points to reduce Europe's energy dependence and move towards a sustainable future.

Summary
This paper conducts a comparative analysis of extreme right-wing parties in the iberian penisnula, specifically Vox in Spain and Chega! in Portugal. Through a qualitative review of the academic literature and an analysis of the formations and consolidations of both parties, similarities and differences in their formation hsitories, structures and ideologies, among others are identified. While Vox emerges as a split from the Spanish Popular Party, consolidating with a strong nationalist and anti-independence discourse, Chega! is established around the media figure of André Ventura, with a focus on economic liberalism and social conservatism. This study provides a theoretical framework for understanding the far-right phenomenon in the region, exploring whether the trajectories of both parties can influence each other and how their particular contexts shape their identities and electoral successes.

In this TFG, the speeches of the main national political figures (Ayuso, Feijóo, and Abascal) who opposed the amnesty and served as a precursor and mobilizing element of the protests that swept through the streets of Spain, primarily in Madrid, against Pedro Sánchez's government will be analyzed. By analyzing two speeches from each of the mentioned politicians, one delivered in parliament and the other at a rally during the protests, this study aims to determine whether these speeches align with far-right rhetoric. Additionally, it will examine how emotions are used and establish the effect these emotions have on the audience.

Summary
Artificial Intelligence has had a major impact on public opinion. More and more opportunities are arising in relation to its use, but questions are also increasing in relation to the impact of its applications. In the field of public administration, the implementation of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, promises significant improvements in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability. However, there are also important risks that need to be considered. This paper explores the main constraints that public organisations face when trying to implement innovations related to artificial intelligence. In addition, an analysis of the possible risks that these technologies can generate is made from Andrew Feenberg's critical theory of technology. Finally, a new model of public management based on the proposed risk approach is introduced and a comparative analysis with public management trends based on established governance models.

In just over a year, the political party Podemos became the third political force in Spain with more than 5 million votes and 69 members of parliament, its main figures being Pablo Iglesias and Íñigo Errejón. In this Final Degree Project, a discursive analysis is carried out, which shows, from Laclau's populist perspective, the evolution of both from their beginnings in the purple party in 2014 until the departure of Íñigo Errejón in 2019.

Summary
Abstract In the contemporary context of technological expansion and the predominant presence of social networks, feminism has consolidated itself as a highly relevant field of study and action. This work investigates the importance and impact of feminist discourses on social networks, focusing on the cases of Luis Rubiales and Rocío Carrasco in Spain. To this end, a qualitative methodology based on Grounded Theory is employed to analyze data collected from Twitter, compiling and coding 100 chíos from each case to identify emerging trends and categories. Thus, the reactions and attitudes of the public in relation to the mentioned cases are analyzed, considering the variables of gender and type of profile. The latter includes various groups, such as common users, media, and politicians, among others. The objective is to determine which type of profile and in what way it predominates in the participation in the debate around each studied case. Additionally, the presence of feminist accounts in the public debate on social networks and their role is sought to be identified. With this study, it is intended to contribute to the advancement of academic knowledge in an area scarcely explored today, such as feminism on social networks.

Summary
In this paper we will deal with the relationship between capitalism and climate change and how the inability to deal with the latter is an example of a new cycle of capitalist accumulation, which is based on bringing nature and human subjectivity under control in order to increase the extraction of resources. Following the following questions: What is the relationship between finance and increased resource extraction?, followed by Why is capitalism incapable of dealing with the climate problem? And how is this inability a sign that we are in a new cycle of capitalist accumulation and its consequences? Finally putting an end to two possible futures such as Eco-Apartheid or Degrowth, to escape or to be able to continue with the current cycle of accumulation.

Summary
This thesis evaluates the efficiency of healthcare systems within Spain's decentralized framework from 2002 to 2019, a period that encompasses both stability and the economic crisis of 2008. Utilizing non-parametric and econometric analysis techniques, particularly Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Malmquist Index, the study examines variations in healthcare efficiency across Spain’s autonomous communities. The research aims to identify the impact of decentralization and economic downturns on healthcare outcomes and resource utilization, comparing regions with distinct financial frameworks, such as the Basque Country and Navarre, with those under the common financing system. Key findings indicate significant disparities in efficiency among regions, with Madrid, Catalonia, Cantabria, La Rioja and Andalucía often emerging as the most efficient. The analysis also reveals that the economic crisis had a profound impact, with varied recovery rates across regions. Some communities, like Andalusia and La Rioja, demonstrated resilience and improvement in efficiency post-crisis, while others, such as Murcia and Castilla y León, struggled to regain pre-crisis efficiency levels. This study contributes to the understanding of decentralized healthcare management, offering insights into best practices and areas needing improvement. By comparing Spanish regions with other European decentralized systems, this study provides a broader context for evaluating the effectiveness of decentralized healthcare governance.

Summary
In the last years, radical-right parties have won protagonism in electoral results of many European countries, this has attracted interest within the discipline of Political Science. It is the French case, in which the figure of Marine Le Pen, member of the party of the National Front (Front National), has become more popular and has won leadership because of its rhetoric and its speech. So, in the next pages a speech analyse of Marine Le Pen is done, as she is a leader of a political party which since its foundation has been related by many political scientists to extreme-right because of its strong nationalist character. Also, since the end of the leadership of her father, Marine Le Pen has worked in renewing, redirecting and getting away from that label her political party, even by re-naming it as National Grouping (Rassemblement National) but maintaining the nationalist question as the ideological basis of the political formation.

Summary
Being a common debate topic during the last 250 years in Western societies, prostitution constitutes a practice that creates polarized opinions among people. This paper offers the results of qualitative research based on three objectives: describing the prostitution policy models, describing their implementation results in some Western European countries during the 21st century, and comparing those results. To achieve this, the paper presents a thorough description of each model (reglamentarism, prohibitionism, abolitionism, and legalization) throughout the analytical framework. Then, the empirical analysis chapter includes three case studies that present the implementation results of reglamentarism, abolitionism, and legalization during the 21st century in Austria, Sweden, and The Netherlands, respectively. Lastly, these results are compared in the discussions.

Summary
Spain has consistently been ranked among the top places at the EU level in terms of access to healthcare, quality of services and other performance indicators of the Spanish healthcare system. However, satisfaction with the functioning of the Spanish health system has decreased from 2017 to 2023. This fact is a concern, both for the National Health System and for Spanish citizens, which implies a need to study the perception of the health system by Spaniards, with the intention of finding out to what extent satisfaction has decreased. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse the assessment of the Spanish health system in 2018 and 2022, with the intention of making a comparison between the two years, giving rise to the various differences in the assessment according to various sociodemographic and political factors such as sex, age, level of education, ideological self-location scale and voting recall.

Summary
The rise of the extreme right is an undeniable phenomenon today. This is not only seen at the international level, but also at the national level. There are more and more organisations and parties of this kind. Also, there are more and more voters, not only older people. In this paper we will talk about the normalisation of the extreme right by young people and discover what factors have made this happen. To do so, we use qualitative methodology, specifically the tool of focus groups.

Summary
This study analyzes the systematic change in electoral results between general and regional elections in the territories of Galicia, the Basque Country and Catalonia. The analyzed period, spanning 20 years, is based on data from 19 post-election surveys located between the beginning of the 21st century and the year 2021 in the three autonomous communities. We start with three research questions: what is the evolution of dual voting, what is the profile of the dual voter and what is the main explanatory factor of this phenomenon. The analysis, based on the extraction and interpretation of recall and vote transfers, reveals the existence of dual voters in the three communities. The results show a consistent electoral pattern depending on the scope of the call, identify a dual voter profile and, finally, highlight the influence of the identity and ideological dimension in electoral decision-making.

Summary
This research work explores the role of emotions in the political discourse of a populist leader, focusing on the specific case of Javier Miley, recently appointed president of the Argentine nation. Through an exhaustive coding of his speeches at key events, such as his inaugural address and his participation in the 54th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, the predominant emotions are identified and analyzed. The results show that negative emotions, such as concern, pessimism, criticism, and frustration, dominate his rhetoric, although positive emotions such as hope, pride, and optimism are also highlighted to a lesser extent. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how populist leaders use emotions to mobilize their followers, offering valuable insights for contemporary political analysis.

Summary
This Final Degree Project (TFG) addresses the analysis of the Law on the Rationalization and Sustainability of Local Administration (LRSAL) in Spain. The main objective is to examine the initial impacts of this law on local administrative structures, assessing its influence on their efficiency and sustainability. Additionally, we will study how it has affected the provision and quality of local public services and the extent to which it has contributed to improving transparency and citizen participation in local decision-making. The effectiveness of the LRSAL in promoting the merger of municipalities will also be analyzed, and whether this merger can be considered a viable solution to the crisis facing our State. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the achievements and challenges of the LRSAL, as well as its implications for the future of local administration in Spain.

Summary
In Spain there are a large number of municipalities with small populations that have difficulties in providing the services granted to them by law. To solve this problem there are different policies, but all of them are flawed or opposed. In Spain many municipalities opt to build associations of municipalities and consortiums with other municipalities to provide services, but this ends up increasing public spending. There has also been an attempt to carry out a reform for the merger of municipalities that met with great opposition and did not achieve its objectives. This situation leaves us with an uncertain outlook for the future of local government in Spain.

Summary
Prostitution has always been understood as a social reality, but with the development of capitalism, it also became established as an economic practice in the sight of many, and a strong sex industry emerged. The main objective of this paper is to establish, through the study of several authors, how prostitution constitutes a key social phenomenon within the new configuration of global capitalism and contemporary patriarchies. In this way, the research will be based on the analysis of the social, historical, cultural and political factors that influence prostitution globally, to end with a case reduction and, to analyse this practice within the Spanish context.

Summary
This end-of-degree thesis analyzes the figure of the Senior Civil Service in the Spanish Administration, focusing its attention on Galicia. The aim is to evaluate the definition, the legal regime and the relationship between politics and administration, as well as to identify current trends in the management of public managers. Through a bibliographic review and the study of international models, we highlight the regulatory deficiencies and legislative fragmentation that affect the professionalization and effectiveness of these positions. We propose reforms based on best international practices to improve selection and evaluation on merit, consolidating a professional model of public management. This work contributes to administrative modernization, underlining the importance of professionalization in Political Science and Public Administration.

Summary
This work aims to determine, from the perspective of Agenda Setting Theory using contributions from authors such as McCombs, Shaw, or Lippmann, whether there is significant convergence between the topics addressed by the Portuguese far-right party Chega during the electoral campaign for the legislative elections on March 10, 2024, and the media coverage provided by the two main newspapers in Portugal. To ascertain the existence and degree of convergence, the analysis has been divided into two parts. Firstly, the news published by the newspapers has been analyzed, and subsequently, a series of speeches given by the party's leader, André Ventura, have been examined. Based on the results obtained, a comparison has been made to determine this convergence.

Summary
In this project we will describe the electoral history of the non-state political parties, as well as the relationship between voting for these parties and national identity. We will make an approach to the most recent electoral processes accompanied by an analysis of voters' self-identification that will help us know to what extent national identity is a determining factor when deciding the vote. We intend to better understand to what extent the vote variable and the identity variable are related, placing emphasis on the autonomous communities where the center-periphery conflict has been a protagonist in the political arena in recent years.

Summary
he Prestige disaster, the oil tanker that sank off the coast of Galicia in November 2002, posed a series of challenges that illustrate the complexity of decision-making in environmental crisis situations. This study examines the key decisions made by the actors involved, from governmental authorities to international organizations, in response to the massive oil spill in the Atlantic Ocean. Factors influencing the decisions are analyzed, such as uncertainty about the magnitude of the disaster, political and economic interests at stake, and technical and logistical limitations. The study also explores how political actors assessed and implemented response strategies amidst the crisis, considering institutional constraints, individual preferences, and demands from civil society. Furthermore, the consequences of these decisions are evaluated in terms of short- and long-term environmental, economic, and social impact. The study aims to shed light on the complexity of political decision-making in crisis situations, grounded in solid theories and processes of substantial change.

This study is based on the premise that the political culture of a society plays a crucial role in shaping citizens' attitudes and behaviors toward politics, and this in turn shapes the perception of Spaniards about democracy and the institutions that comprise it. Political culture, understood as the set of values, beliefs and practices that characterize a society and that influence the way in which individuals relate to the political system. In the case of Spain, recent history, marked by the transition to democracy and contemporary challenges, has left a deep mark on the collective consciousness of the population.

Summary
Starting from the expression solo soy una chica this study seeks to examine how the profiles using this phrase share experiences, desires, needs, and/or cravings linked precisely to the fact of being a girl. The research aims to construct an intelligible framework that groups the semantic structures most frequently associated with the mentioned emblem. For this purpose, techniques and procedures from unsupervised machine learning text analysis have been applied; analysis of n-gram relationships, latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic models, and cluster analysis. The results reveal a clear predominance in the use of: 1) attributes linked to psychic states denoting sorrow and discontent; 2) verbs that express desires, cravings, and/or needs reinforced by the use of participles referring to affective-romantic issues; 3) nouns that reflect what one wishes to consume or acquire (makeup, clothes, facial products); and 4) the term man is the most frequent way to refer to the male gender. The semantic concentration around these four issues suggests a relatively reactionary tendency among those who use the expression I'm just a girl to project an image of themselves based on attributes that reinforce sociocultural gender barriers. The study, therefore, seeks to glimpse possible political connotations linked to the concerns, desires, and personal aspirations of the profiles using the expression I'm just a girl from a specific population range.

The Electronic Administration can be defined as a renovated way of offering public services already offered by the Public Administration, incorporating the Information and Communication Technology, ICTs. However, not everything this renovation offers is positive. The creation of the e-Administration has generated some negative effects, for example, the digital exclusion. In this research I will try to carry a study on the processes of adaptation of the Spanish population to the creation of this tools. To this end, I will provide a bibliographic analysis, by revising previous research about this topic, as well as a quantitative analysis through the statistical analysis of the appropriate surveys. The results obtained will reach the objectives set and will either validate or not the initial hypothesis.

Summary
this investigation analyzes the role of CNN and Al-Jazeera at the beginning of the mass protests in Tunisia, in the framework of the beginning of the so-called Arab Springs of 2010 and 2011, a milestone not only in the Arab world, where the protests spread to numerous countries, but also for communication, as will be seen, there is a transition from one conception of the media to another, where new mechanisms and actors appear on the scene to generate opinion and mobilize the networks. The final purpose will be to understand how the two main media construct the events, creating a unique narrative, at least in the case of Al-Jaazera. In order to iso, we must answer what kind of framework we encounter when it comes to understanding the presence of an instrumental factor that is not in the Qatari environment and the feedback on CNN.

Summary
The objectives of this paper are to describe Machiavellianism in order to understand it in the light of the leaderships of the three chosen case studies (Pedro Sánchez, Vladimir Putin and Henry Kissinger) and why are they disqualified with adjectives such as Machiavellian, Machiavellian or Machiavellian. Also, to adquire knowledge about the similarities between them and whether Machiavelli would consider them good rulers based on the advice presented in his work The Prince. To achieve these objectives, political theory and the history of thought have been used to see how the weight of the past is reflected in these leaders. Finally, after the analysis the conclusión is that it is the condemnation of the author and all the implications of the Machiavellian concept that causes these leaders to be disqualified, that there are similarities between them and in none of the cases would Machiavelli consider them an ideal leader.

Summary
Galician socialdemocracy, sedimented primarily in the figure of the Socialist Party of Galicia (PSdeG) (as hegemonic force of the space), weighs down a political vacuum in the environment of its study, even more in terms of media knowledge (epistemology). Through the systematized observation of the news framed within the set of electoral campaigns, since the celebration of the first autonomic elections (1981-2024), a media analysis is carried out using the newspaper La Voz de Galicia as a reference. To this end, at a methodological level, a mixed analysis (content and discourse) of all those news items that substantially refer to the formation will be used. This allows us to identify the main issues and actors involved in them, as well as to determine the identity position of this space in relation to the Galician autonomy. From the results obtained, as well as from their analysis, a series of “stages” or political cycles will be diagnosed that synthesize the longitudinal of the identity discourse, offering the possibility of contrasting them with the thematic construction carried out (thematization).

This investigation aims to determine the predominant ideology in the Civil Guard and the National Police, since even though neutrality is the core of action of both bodies, the agents, like the rest of the citizens, show political inclinations and opinions. For this purpose, a qualitative questionnaire was carried out, consisting of 40 questions that addressed topics such as patriotism, feminism, immigration, the LGTBI community and religion, and which was answered by 167 agents. In this way, it was possible to determine the existence of a clear trend towards the political right both in the case of the Civil Guard and the National Police.

After the Hamas attacks carried out on October 7, 2023, in the Israel territory, a large-scale invasion and control of the Gaza Strip ensued. During these movements of the Israeli army, we have observed and become aware of the wide range of opinions regarding this operation, both at the national and international levels. However, amidst all the controversy surrounding this event, the government of Benjamin Netanyahu has enjoyed unwavering support from the Israeli far-right, those who, since the establishment of their most recent government in 2022, have largely backed the military strategy. The purpose of this work will focus on analyzing the history of the far-right in Israel and the role it has played throughout its history, as well as identifying parallels between far-right parties in Israel and those in European far-right parties.

Summary
This work aims to make a study of the relationship between cinema and politics, a relationship that will have a double direction and can be seen from different points of view. For this, a review and analysis of various bibliography has been carried out, as well as the viewing of films. It will show how cinema is also a political actor, allowing the spectator to know the political changes that occur, to know the historical past from different perspectives, thus allowing him to acquire his own idea of what happened and turning him into a critical spectator. It will reflect how cinema is an element of propaganda for political systems, while serving as an instrument of social denunciation, explaining how this capacity for manipulation makes it necessary for directors to have a responsibility to what they do. Along with this, cinema is also influenced by politics because the changes that occur in this field will influence the way or even the topics that are addressed in filmography. In addition all these relationships will be studied at a specific time in the history of Spain as is the transition, where it will be shown how cinema was a reflection of the changes that were taking place, the different typologies that are opening hand in hand with the new stage and even the idea that cinema is a reflection of the so-called agreed reform rejecting rupturism, which many wanted. It will end by showing how these political changes have influenced the role changes that women have had in the film world, and how this change is also seen during the Spanish transition.

Summary
The rationalist view of politics held sway until a few decades ago and still lives on in political discourse. This paper contextualizes the ideas of reason and emotion in political theory; it then discusses several theories that describe the formation of political opinions and what role rational and emotional elements play in it. The theories discussed are Rational Choice Theory, Bounded Rationality, Damasio's Somatic Marker Theory, Haidt's Social Intuitionist Model, Marcus, Mackuen and Neuman's Affective Intelligence Theory, the Affective Transfer and Endogenous Affect theories discussed by Ladd and Lenz and Motivated Reasoning Theory, and others more briefly. Several of these theories agree on the importance of affect and the effect it has on reasoning. Finally, the main concepts used by the theories are presented.

Summary
In this work we delve into the housing problem that currently exists in Santiago de Compostela. This event is not exclusive to this city, but we can see how, due to the effects of gentrification, tourism and the estudentization, we can find similar situations in various places around the world. The main effect these have on the city is the increase of prices as well as the reduction of options in the market. In this paper, first of all, a bibliographical review of the aforementioned phenomena is carried out in order to observe, through a case study, the effects of these processes in Santiago de Compostela and their consequences. The conclusions reached by this work are the following: It is evident that the consequences of these transformative processes are being experienced in the city, and we have observed how the real estate market in the city presents a significant increase in prices, as well as a low supply ... . Because of this, residents have to move from central areas to more remote areas to find affordable prices.

Summary
The consolidation of AIs in society affects various aspects of daily life, becoming increasingly integrated into everyday life, both socially and in the work environment. The most privileged social classes may express a more favorable opinion towards AIs, while the less privileged classes may express more skeptical positions, especially in the work environment. This TFG investigates the differences between class categories in different areas, these differences being greater in the workplace than in other areas in general terms (applied to society, education, etc.). The objectives are to analyze and quantify the differences in opinions on AI, robotics and new technologies between different social classes, with special focus on how social class modulates these opinions and on the variations within each class, evaluate the perceived impact of AI, robotics and other emerging technologies in the workplace, differentiating between different social classes, identifying and analyzing grouping patterns between social classes according to their perceptions of AI, robotics and new technologies and providing a detailed description and cohesion of the beliefs, perceptions and concerns predominant in each social class. For this study, secondary information from Study 3216 of the Innovarometer of the Center for Sociological Research (CIS) of 2018 has been used. A data analysis will be carried out first using contingency tables to the questions selected from the questionnaire, followed by an analysis of models of multiple linear regression to those same questions to quantify the differences. Goldthorpe's class scheme will be used, but modified to facilitate the conclusions of this TFG. Opinions about AI and robotics differ significantly between social classes. Non-manual classes with high levels of specialization I, II and IIIa, in contrast to classes V-VI, VIIab and IIIa, as well as the classes of low-level manual and non-manual workers with highly routine tasks, which also They have a positive, but more skeptical, view of these technologies. These distinctions between social classes do not go against the general consensus on many variables related to other areas such as the consequences of innovation in society, access to products or improvement in the quality of life.

The objectives are to analyze and quantify the differences in opinions on AI, robotics and new technologies between different social classes, with special focus on how social class modulates these opinions and on the variations within each class, evaluate the perceived impact of AI, robotics and other emerging technologies in the workplace, differentiating between different social classes, identifying and analyzing grouping patterns between social classes according to their perceptions of AI, robotics and new technologies and providing a detailed description and cohesion of the beliefs, perceptions and concerns predominant in each social class. For this study, secondary information from Study 3216 of the Innovarometer of the Center for Sociological Research (CIS) of 2018 has been used. A data analysis will be carried out first using contingency tables to the questions selected from the questionnaire, followed by an analysis of models of multiple linear regression to those same questions to quantify the differences. Goldthorpe's class scheme will be used, but modified to facilitate the conclusions of this TFG. Opinions about AI and robotics differ significantly between social classes. Non-manual classes with high levels of specialization I, II and IIIa, in contrast to classes V-VI, VIIab and IIIa, as well as the classes of low-level manual and non-manual workers with highly routine tasks, which also They have a positive, but more skeptical, view of these technologies. These distinctions between social classes do not go against the general consensus on many variables related to other areas such as the consequences of innovation in society, access to products or improvement in the quality of life.

Summary
The Podemos phenomenon is unprecedented in Spain's recent democratic history. Its creation arose from the capitalisation of the discontent of the 15-M movement. Early on, the party achieved a meteoric electoral rise during its first two General Elections, in 2015 and 2016, reaching 71 seats in the Congress of Deputies and becoming the third political force in the chamber. Just three years later, the party's electoral decline began. After the last General Elections in 2023, the party had only five parliamentary representatives. This paper seeks to delve into the variables that have influenced the party's vote during the General Elections of 2015, 2016, April 2019 and November 2019. All this from a longitudinal analysis by performing four binary logistic regressions for each of the four cases. And therefore, in this way, draw conclusions that help to understand the event.
