With a “migration crisis” as a backdrop, which took place on the border between Spain and Morocco in May 2021, and through the systematic observation of the conversations produced on the network, we delve into the analysis of the discursive strategies of support for the racist politician, on the one hand, and of confrontation and rejection of the same, on the other.

Con una “crisis migratoria” como telón de fondo, acontecida en la frontera entre España y Marruecos en mayo de 2021, y a través de la observación sistemática de las conversaciones producidas en la citada red, por un lado, se profundiza en el análisis de las estrategias discursivas de apoyo al político racista y, por otro, de confrontación y rechazo al mismo. El trabajo, un estudio de caso realizado sobre una muestra de 766 publicaciones, concluye con un diagnóstico sobre las diferentes formas de reacción de la ciudadanía al respecto, como muestra de participación social/civil, al tiempo que destaca la preocupante normalización del discurso racista en redes sociales en el contexto estudiado.
