It is intended to study comparatively participatory policies in the city of La Plata, Argentina, during the period 2014-2018. The chosen period includes the last two years of the former Mayor Pablo Bruera´s administration, during which the participatory budgeting policies were intensified and the first years of the new communal leader Julio Garro, who decided to modify some substantial aspects. This type of policy, understood as city open gov to the community have been supported by two different political parties. To do this case study analysis, it is being studied not only the actions but also the discursive aspects of the different governments. Beyond the continuities, the changes seem to be wide: we notice, as conclusion, how the procedural changes in participatory policies, even do a certain discursive continuity, involve fundamental changes in the way of understanding the relationship between the governing and the governed, of understanding reality and of acting in accordance with that understanding.
