Abstract
This chapter discusses the Yo Soy 132 Movement (MY132), a social movement of university students that took place during the presidential elections of 2012 in Mexico. It analyzes first how the corporatist regime inhibited political parties’ capacities of social representation, both in terms of dialogue and as a bridge to institutionalize demands and social conflict. Thus, the MY132 is studied as (a) a generational manifestation of the need for new political identities to those offered by corporatism, (b) a problem of bridging between the political class and society, and (c) an intermediation gap. This chapter argues that because of these reasons, it was civil society the arena in which political expressions could flourish, express, and articulate into social demands.
