The COVID19 pandemic has brought great changes in society. The strong intervention of the public powers in the health crisis and the social impact that this has caused with the increase in poverty and inequality, are factors that can originate a social conflict around the redistribution of income and wealth. This article aims to discern from a study of the behavior of public opinion based on the Public Opinion Studies and Fiscal Policies of the CIS if there has been a change in support for strengthening the Welfare State, in fiscal matters and in the provision of public services and the redistribution capacity of public institutions.References
