Abstract
Twitter is introducing significant novelties in political communication and has become a space where citizens debate issues of public interest. This research analyses the use that citizenry do of Twitter during a major political event: the investiture of Pedro Sánchez, the socialist candidate. A content analysis is applied through the hashtag #SesiónDeInvestidura. The results indicate that citizens use this social network to criticize and show their displeasure with politics and their attention falls on their personal aspects of the deputies and not in their program proposals.
