Is the right to protest a new fundamental right?

Abstract

The article explores whether the right to protest can be considered a “new” fundamental right,
or if it is just the name we give to certain forms of exercising the rights of assembly and demonstration.
To this end, a conceptual approach to the law is made, it is inscribed in the context of the social and
political conflicts of recent years, and its framing in the norms that develop the aforementioned rights
is discussed. Some relevant cases are brought up and it is established, in conclusion, that the right to
protest, without becoming a new right, does have a decisive impact on the current conceptions of the
rights of assembly and demonstration.
