The party was formed largely in opposition to the effects of the
Mexican Revolution by urban and rural middle-class supporters who opposed
socialism and agrarian reform who saw fascism as an alternative. The party's base of supporters were largely
conservative,
Catholic, and
antirevolutionary. The organization was established in
Xalapa,
Veracruz, approximately one month following the
March on Rome, much to the displeasure of local politicians. This claim was exaggerated as membership for the party peaked at approximately 400 in early 1923. 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. Manuel Calero was named the presidential candidate representing the party for the
1924 general election. However, members of the Mexican Fascist Party, including Pous, rapidly joined the National Political League, which supported for president. The party rapidly became inactive and dissolved. ==Italian reception==
