About José Antonio Urquiza

Lived 1904 – 1938 (aged 34). José Antonio Urquiza was a Mexican land owner, known for National Synarchist Union.

José Antonio Urquiza Septién (April 10, 1904 – April 11, 1938) was a Mexican integrist, wealthy landowner, and a key figure in developing Mexican synarchism. Along with many other radical Catholics, Urquiza co-founded the far-right National Synarchist Union (UNS). He had given a considerable amount of his fortune to the organization and heavily financed the group's early activities and growth.

National Synarchist Union

Urquiza had been a part of a secret Catholic society and organization known as The Base or The Legion based in Guadalajara. Since at least 1934, he was leader of the Guanajuato division. His second cousin, Carlos Campos, was also a prominent member of the UNS.

At the time of his death, Urquiza had given a considerable amount of his personal fortune to the National Synarchist Union.
