This article analyzes the social movements that have emerged in the context of the global crisis since 2011, as the symptoms of the erosion of human rights and the democratic deficit imposed by the neoliberal policies of the last decades, especially increased in recent years through the local, national and European institutional agendas. Grounded in the impact of these movements on public opinion and its irruption in the institutions via elections, especially in Southern Europe and paradigmatically in two of the european countries most affected by these policies, as Portugal and Spain and allied to a decentred study of the tactical extensive media-crossed political use of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) by these movements, the text shows a complex new political scenario in these countries, that allow us to propose a new key-category in the theory of social movements: Recent Global Social Movements (RMSGs).
