Summary/Abstract: Political discourse is a form of exercising socio-political fundamental rights. Candidates, governors or opponents, on all the meridians and within the majority of political regimes, seem to value more the performative side of discourse, to convince voters, then as an action line that should be followed either and only in the form of diligence, if not the result. The legitimate question is whether political discourse can generate legal relationships and, therefore, to forms of legal liability, or whether it "escapes" the field and remaining exclusively in a volatile context, limited to a monologue or eventually dilatory dialogue with the perspective of dissolution after a first audience effect.
