Political violence manifests itself in many forms and is disguised in many ways. The same goes for hate speech and violent communication. As in the physical world, the manifestations of hate in the virtual world attack groups that have historically been discriminated against, the most vulnerable to suffer racism, xenophobia, ideological discrimination and other attacks due to their condition as marginalized individuals. This research explores how political communication that incites hatred or violence manifests itself on social networks, studying in particular the political discourse on Twitter of the former candidate for the presidency of Peru, Rafael López Aliaga. To this end, an analysis was made of the tweets published by the political leader in the context of the 2021 general elections. Specifically, López Aliaga's Twitter messages between April 11 and June 6, 2021, dates of the first and second round of elections in Peru, were analyzed. Based on a Critical Discourse Analysis, characteristics that make direct or covert reference to different types of hate speech, to “terruqueo” or to a theory of electoral fraud were identified in the tweets of the then candidate of the conservative political party Renovación Popular. In this way, we delve into the characteristics of Rafael López Aliaga's discourse on Twitter and what type of discursive and sociocultural practices he responds to at a time of crisis of representation and exacerbated violence during political campaigns.
