    Esta investigación analiza la polarización política en España entre 2000 y 2023 a través de los discursos de los debates de investidura. Combinando la codificación manual y análisis automatizado de textos en Python, se examinaron 83 discursos para rastrear los patrones de polarización ideológica y afectiva durante el tránsito del bipartidismo a un sistema multipartidista fragmentado. Los resultados muestran un aumento sostenido de la distancia ideológica y la hostilidad emocional, sobre todo a partir de 2015, con líderes que emplean un lenguaje más confrontacional y enfatizan la unidad del endogrupo. El análisis concluye que el discurso parlamentario se ha polarizado de forma notable, con un descenso del lenguaje conciliador y una reducción de las apelaciones al acuerdo entre partidos

    This research analyzes political polarization in Spain between 2000 and 2023 through the examination of investiture debate speeches. Combining manual coding with automated text analysis in Python, 83 speeches were examined to track patterns of ideological and affective polarization across the shift from bipartisanship to a fragmented multi-party system. The findings show a sustained increase in ideological distance and emotional hostility, particularly after 2015, with leaders using more adversarial language and emphasizing ingroup unity.

    The analysis concludes that parliamentary discourse has become markedly more polarized, with a decline in conciliatory language and reduced opportunities for cross-party agreement
