Public opinion, Monarchy, unaccountable institutions, trust, economic crisisAbstract
This article investigates the trust in the Monarchy in Spain during the recent economic crisis, relative to other political institutions. The article differentiates public opinion on political institutions depending on whether they are or not accountable to the electorate. The purpose is to confirm whether there is internal homogeneity in the trust that citizens place in political accountability institutions, such as the government, parliament, political parties or even the Monarchy. The article analyzes the specific evolution of the perception about the Monarchy, showing that such perception has behaved differently as compared to other “unaccountable institutions” during the recent period of political and economic crisis. It also presents the effects that the perception on the political and economic context has on it.
