Abstract

The comment reflects on political responsibility in the deterioration of the democratic system and seeks to contribute to its ethical regeneration. Since the university community must play a key role in the search and dialogue that will lead to this responsible regeneration, we place great importance on the role of civic and political education for college students to train them in the exercise of this art as a service to the common good.
Our commentary starts out in the current Spanish situation of democratic breakdown and the delegitimizing of political parties and the “political class” as a whole. To question representative democracy at this moment in time when many are questioning constitutional consensus is both incisive and disturbing. This editorial also offers an analysis of the delegitimizing of the democratic system and makes some proposals for democratically regenerating our society through a political culture within a democracy of quality, imbued with values.
