AND
Heidelberg newspaper, established in Monterrey, Nuevo León, republican The hotel of the Four Seasonsby José Luis Ontiveros. In his catalog you can find far-right propaganda books, such as A handbook for Right-Wing Youth, by Julius Evola, 1973. The year the Front Nacional and other articles were born, by Francois Duprat, and What is being a national-revolutionary? by Juan Antonio Llopart Senent.
Born in Córdoba, Veracruz, in 1954 and died in 2015, militant of direct action fascist groups –such as Avanguardia Nazionale in Italy and in post-Franco Spain–, admirer of Agustín de Iturbide and Maximiliano de Habsburgo, proletarian-owner who practiced martial arts and he could not stand “the idiots in togas nor neo-primitivism skinhead or copper-skinned Nazis”, Ontiveros was an admirer of the French fascist writer Drieu la Rochelle, the legionnaire of letters (https://cutt.ly/63QeUch).
“Deep down –wrote Javier Sicilia about the author of The hotel of the four seasons – the neocolonialism society on which Ontiveros turns his contempt is nothing more than the extension of the Nazi model, in its unspeakable horror, which Ontiveros’s ambiguous thinking also praises: a humiliation of the spirit (https://cutt.ly/D3QwSud)”.
The renaissance of Nazi literature in Mexico is not an isolated event. In the most diverse book stalls and market stalls, it is sold, quite naturally, My struggleby Adolf Hitler. Until a few years ago, promoting his reading was a real scandal. But, now, its distribution has been normalized
hand in hand with the sympathies of a group of students towards neo-fascism.
In recent months there have been several rock concerts by bands with international and local groups that are followers of National Socialism. Chance? Who puts up the money? It’s part of the war for minds and hearts
of young people, in which gigs by NSBM groups ( black metal neo-Nazi), such as the Greek neo-fascist band Der Stümer, in Mexico City and Ciudad Juárez, in which, between song and song, the crowd chanted the slogan siegheil (Hail, long live, eternal victory), that is to say long live Hitler!
either Hail Hitler!

As Abraham Díaz pointed out in the pages of this newspaper, “Mexico, unfortunately, is being a point of interest for the world extreme right. Last October, five non-metal neo-fascist groups performed at a forum in Santa María la Ribera, as part of the concert The Empire Strikes Back. As if that were not enough, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) was held in November in a luxurious hotel in Santa Fe” (https://cutt.ly/u3mVpEM).
It is a back and forth relationship. In August and September 2022, a neo-Nazi tattoo artist from Mexico City toured Europe. We are waiting for your glorious return, comrade.
a facho from Allgäu, Germany, had written to him in 2020, after the Chilango artist tattooed his face, according to the Allagaeu-Rechtsaussen Documentation Center (https://cutt.ly/Q3mVgjT).
The neo-fascists also try to train cadres. Some carry out training and militancy days. “During our visit to Mexico – says Nacionalisté, one of the Spanish groups participating in these events – our activists participated in the conference national union revolution in Mexico City. One hundred activists from different organizations gathered in the hall, with whom four speakers from Spain and Mexico spoke. We welcome all the opportunities to learn up close with the operation of foreign nationalist organizations.”
Although it smells like mothballs, the symbols, logos and some communications from these associations have, surprisingly, the smell of old synarchism. They recover their symbols, designs and ideologues. Salvador Borrego, the pro-Nazi journalist, Holocaust denier, seems to have been reborn!
It is not a homogeneous movement. Socially heterogeneous, there are various types of neo-fascism in the country. Some claim Mexicanness and others hate skin the color of the earth. A sector claims pre-Hispanic cultures of the pure breed
and another is unequivocally racist.
Its members are usually very disciplined. His life is organized from his fundamentalism. They exercise, they don’t eat meat, I don’t know they burstThey don’t do drugs or drink alcohol. They know they are training for a mission, as if they were part of Hitler’s elite corps. They attend universities, mainly private ones, and pursue bachelor’s and master’s degrees. They are preparing their cadres for when the time comes to act. Some even intend to venture into institutional politics. For example, the Izhaninh Nationalist Movement is said to civil association that seeks to request its registration as a political party in 2025, and defend Mexican interests from the third position
.
They have accounts on Twitter and Facebook, although the dominant trend is to open channels on Telegram. They present themselves as Channels for the unification of Hispanicity and its history in general
either Union of young nationalists committed to the improvement of Mexico
either Blood and Honor! Long live National Socialism!
either Our homeland is our race. Wherever there are National Socialists, it will be our homeland.
.
For the feeling structure of some young people, it does not seem to be a time of rebellion or rupture, but of reaction and hatred. The attacks on the Alicia Forum (https://cutt.ly/Y3Qw1vE) or the installation of stands with swastikas in public parks show that, beyond their stage of preparation, they have decided to take action. Faithful to the words of the creator of the Legion, José Millán Astray, they shout with him: Down with intelligence!
