In a recent article, we recovered the argument of Pierre Rosanvallon who examined the principles of legitimacy of democratic governments. According to the French sociologist, throughout the twentieth century a democratic system of dual legitimacy was established, one of input (electoral) and another of results (public administration). In this article, after a brief theoretical debate, we explore electoral legitimacy in Paraguay and show data suggesting that, at least since 2018, there has been an erosion of trust in electoral democracy. In the present article we will investigate the second legitimacy, that of results.
