Abstract

This paper analyzes the newspaper Puño published during the first half of the sixties by the Movimiento Universitario de Renovadora Orientación (MURO), an anti-communist Catholic group that operated for more than two decades at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). We argue that the content of the publication includes a series of ideas about the university, students and opponents, which distances itself from the physical violence characteristic of the group and it, nuance the radical ideology of its militants as a strategy of approach to the student community.

Key words:  UNAM. Right-wing ideology. University. Catholic Anti-Communism. Student movements. Student politicization.
