Abstract :
This article aims to signal the theoretical contributions of the renowned researcher Angel Pino, which are based on the cultural-historical perspective in Psychology, for the analysis of some significant aspects that emerge from the discussions about the PEC 171/1993. The article first presents the context in which the debate on the reduction of the age of criminal responsibility emerges. Following, it discusses some of the assumptions that underpin them, tacking the threads of the fabric constructed in light of Angel Pino's basic theoretical productions. Finally, it reflects about the theme, highlighting nuclear questions and unveiling the ideological aspects of the debate that are hidden under the veil of appearances (LEFEBVRE, 1979), by neoliberal ideology.
