MARVAN LABORDE, María. Democratic tension between freedom of expression and equity. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2020, vol.82, n.4, pp.807-833.  Epub 27-Ene-2021. ISSN 2594-0651.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iis.01882503p.2020.4.59208.

This paper is a critical review of Mexico’s model of political communication in the electoral system; this model seeks to achieve and maintain equity among parties and candidates in campaign processes. The concept of equity used by this model is so broad, that it has sacrificed freedom of speech, in detriment of the quality of democracy. This paper proposes to liberalize this model of political communication and to use the competitiveness of the electoral system as the measure of equity.

Palabras llave : elections; democracy; equity; competitiveness; freedom of speech.
