NIEMBRO O., Roberto. Mexico 2018: an opportunity for popular constitutionalism. Mex. law rev [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.2, pp.33-51. Epub 05-Mar-2021. ISSN 2448-5306. https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24485306e.2020.2.14171.
In 2018 Mexicans chose the most profound political change since the transition to democracy, leaving behind what in another work I have called authoritarian constitutionalism. The alternation has meant a change of regime in which a social transformation is announced. The transformation can take different paths and must be accompanied by ideas that inspire it. In this frame of mind, popular constitutionalism can be a useful theory in order for the transformation to take a democratic, participative and egalitarian direction, since it fosters political participation and democratic equality. It is time to forego the elitist theories of constitutional law and the minimalist understandings of democracy.
