Sumario:This article analyzes the discourse operations deployed by Argentine Internet users in the controversy about the expropriation of Repsol YPF's shares that took place in 2012. The debate had an important developement in the most popular social networks of the moment: Facebook and Twitter. In this case, I specifically consider the resources with which users express empathy or rejection towards the Government’s decision. The participant´s strategies link the voice of the citizens with the word of the leaders and tend to consolidate or to undermine a particular type of collective political - fleeting, passionate, unstable-: online communities.
