This article provides an interpretation of the social outburst unleashed in October 2019. It is based on the assumption that the social outburst is the result of a series of unresolved tensions that were shaping a real "integral crisis", which has its origin in the impacts brought about by neoliberal modernization and in deficit situations that were maintained and projected in the phase following the transition process. This "integral crisis" has been expressed through structural factors, rooted both in the economic-social and political-institutional spheres. In addition to this, there have been conjunctural events, derived from decisions adopted by the current government that have tended to aggravate the malaise manifested in various sectors of the population.
