The National Fascist Union ( Unión Nacional Fascista , UNF ) was a fascist political party formed in Argentina in 1936, as the successor to the Argentine Fascist Party . [2]
In August 1936, UNF leader Nimio de Anquín attempted to force students at a law school in Cordoba to pledge a statement of support for the Spanish general Francisco Franco . [3] Police responded with a crackdown against Argentine nationalists. [3] Support for the UNF surged after two nationalists were shot in the Colegio Montserrat in 1938. [3] In the aftermath of the Montserrat murders, Anquin denounced the middle and upper class for complicity and cowardice and claimed that " communism , Judaism , and degenerate Radicalism" were responsible for causing the murders. [4] Anquín called for the mourners to swear "by God, honour, and the Fatherland, to return the homicidal bullet". [4]
By 1939, the UNF was largely defunct, and Anquín returned to his hometown to resume his earlier career as a lecturer. [1]
