Transitional Justice and Linked Party Sympathy Survey, 2023

Government actions reconciling with an undemocratic past can affect political attitudes and behaviors. Existing research has found that transitional justice policies have induced both electoral payoffs and costs for parties with symbolic or ideological linkages to prior regimes. This dataset includes responses to a survey related to transitional justice in Spain and attitudes toward Vox and other national political parties. It includes items capturing reactions to various transitional justice policies (randomly shown to different respondents), party preferences, and more general political attitudes. Results from these data have been used in a working paper written by the dataset creators: ‘Transitional justice and linked party sympathy,’ which documents how reactions to transitional justice policies are conditional on a variety of factors.
