The Nationalist Liberation Alliance (es: Alianza Libertadora Nacionalista, ALN) was an Argentine Nacionalista and Nazi political party founded by Jordán Bruno Genta in 1943.[1] It was a successor to the Alliance of Nationalist Youth led by Juan Bautista Molina who became the first leader of the party.[2] The party was violently anti-Semitic and took part in attacks on the Sephardic Shalom synagogue in Buenos Aires as well as painting anti-Semitic graffiti on walls of buildings.[3] Famous communist revolutionary Che Guevera assaulted a group of members of the party during a demonstration held by the ALN in 1943 where they were harassing pro-Allied students.[4]

History

During the 1946 Argentine elections, the ALN was the largest Nacionalista movement but only gained 25,000 votes in a few areas in which it fielded candidates.[5] This coincided with the election of Juan Perón as President of Argentina.[6] Following the 1946 election, ALN members attacked the headquarters of several liberal and leftist newspapers, including La Hora, the Communist Party newspaper, as well as attacking a bar in downtown Buenos Aires that was frequented by Spanish republican refugeees.[7]

In 1953, the ALN condemned the nationalist newspaper La Prensa for publishing too many articles by Jewish writers.[8] ALN leader Juan Queraltó was ousted from leadership of the party in 1953.[9] Queraltó was succeeded by Guillermo Patricio Kelly.[10] Kelly sought to distance the party from its anti-Semitic past and met with Israel's ambassador to Argentina, Dr. Arie Kubovy during which Kelly informed Dr. Kubovy that the ALN had forsworn anti-Semitism.[11] In 1954, anti-Semitism was dropped from the party.[12] Kelly was arrested after the anti-Perónist Revolución Libertadora of 1955 by Argentine authorities for having used a forged passport, but managed to escape and flee the country in 1957.
