GUTIERREZ SANCHEZ, Héctor. Moral demand on politicians. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.76, pp.233-272. ISSN 1665-0565.  https://doi.org/10.32870/eees.v26i76.7097.

This article explores the recent hypothesis of a moral demand on Mexican politicians. Studies and statistics are used as a basis to show social political disenchantment, and we anticipate how morality is valuable but vulnerable, and how any transgression generates animosity. Durkheim's theory, interviews and a survey integrate methodology. We concluded that as political figures are public and elected, they are subjects of intense moral scrutiny beyond their official and legal functions.
