The National Synarchist Union
The National Synarchist Union was a fascist organization in Mexico, and was most popular from 1940 to around 1943. It sought the unity of the Catholic church and government, and for the church to rule; although it never gained much power, its beliefs and goals are comparable to Christian nationalism in the US, which we are seeing fighting for control of the US.
In this episode, Carmen tells Cristina about this brief organization in Mexico.
