Abstract

ABSTRACT The Sardines “movement” emerged in the fall of 2019, giving itself mainly the purpose of countering the possible assertion of the right-wingers in the regional elections of 2020. The political discourse developed by this mobilization was characterized in an anti-populist and anti-fascist sense. The anti-populist register constituted the main mode of self-representation of Sardines. The political discourse of this mobilization is thus presented as, in some ways unprecedented, for an extra-institutional actor. The article addresses the following issues: a) the formal adequacy of the category of “social movement” to define Sardines; b) their constitution and development from November 2019 to November 2020; c) the key elements of their political discourse; d) the change in strategies and repertoires following the onset of the pandemic.
