The Mexican Fascist Party (Partido Fascista Mexicano) was a minor political party founded in Mexico City in December of 1922 by Gustavo Sáenz de Sicilia. Officially based upon Italian Fascism, the party members drafted a manifesto entitled Manifiesto del Partido Fascista Mexicano a la Nación.^[1][2][3]

History[]

The party was formed largely in opposition to effects of the Mexican Revolution by urban and rural middle class supporters who opposed socialism and agrarian reform who saw fascism as an alternative.^[2] The party's base of supporters were largely conservative, Catholic, and antirevolutionary.^[2] Guillermo Pous was named leader of the party in April 1923.^[1] The party published a document entitled Principios fundamentales del Fascismo Nacional Mexicano dated April 3, 1923 that better defined the party's goals and principles.^[1] Manuel Calero was named the presidential candidate representing the party for the 1924 Mexican general election. The party, however, was dissolved by mid-1923 after Pous resigned as leader to head the Sindicato Nacional de Agricultores. The ambitions of the Mexican Fascist Party were never realized.^[1]

The party was viewed with dismay by Italian fascists, with the Italian ambassador in 1923 stating that "This party was not anything else than a bad imitation of ours, and did not possess the causes of origin and the finalities of it. It, in fact, assumed the aspect of a political movement tending to gather in the whole country old conservative and Catholic forces dispersed by the revolution, and to form, in this way, a party clearly opposed to the actual government."^[3]
