After the last crisis of capitalism, that of 2008, originated by the real estate crisis in the United States, whose effects were global, according to critical theory, an authoritarian neoliberalism emerged, with States imposing a series of economic adjustment policies, in order to strengthen the mechanisms of capital accumulation. These policies are implemented after the construction of accumulation strategies by legitimization, through propaganda articulated by the economic and political elites. This essay analyzes and reveals how the process of legitimization occurred in the implementation of the Education Reform in Mexico in 2013, under a context of authoritarian neoliberalism, in order to control the teaching profession and consolidate the precarious labor conditions of the neoliberal model. A qualitative methodology based on documentary research focused on academic texts such as scientific articles, theses, books and press reports was used.
