Abstract

This article results from a qualitative research project (2019-22) around civic and activist intervention practices of young people. In this context, we analyzed their political biographies, which include, in some cases, formal and informal links, past and present, to political parties. The objective of this article is to detail the processes of connection and departure from these organizations, but also of complementarity with their forms of activism. We perceive in their discourses the relevance of parties in their processes of political socialization, in the family and peer context, decisively influencing their current activist trajectory.
