The National Fascist Union (Union Nacional Fascista, UNF) was a fascist political party formed in Argentina in 1936, as the successor to the Argentine Fascist Party.[1]

In August 1936, UNF leader Nimio de Anquín attempted to force students at law school in Cordoba to pledge a statement of support for Francisco Franco.[2] Police responded with a crackdown against Argentine nationalists.[2] Support for the UNF surged after two nationalists were shot in the Colegio Montserrat in 1938.[2] In the aftermath of the Montserrat murders, Anquin denounced the bourgeoisie for complicity and cowardice and claimed that "communism, Judaism, and degenerate Radicalism" were responsible for causing the murders.[3] Anquin called for the mourners to swear "by God, honour, and the Fatherland, to return the homicidal bullet".[3]
