Sumario:In June, 1938, the first number of the newspaper El Popular was published in Mexico City under the initiative of the unionist leader Vicente Lombardo Toledano, general secretary of the Confederation of Mexico’s Workers. The newspaper was created to give voice to the Mexican proletariat, though very soon, and in the face of extremely dangerous national and international events, it turned to be the standard-bearer of the anti-fascist press in Mexico and even the rest of Latin America. The aim of the present work is to analyze the role of El Popular against the progressive penetration of the Spanish Falangism into Mexico, a historical context where fascism emerged as a threat to democracy along the whole world, as itoccurred in Spain and other countries.
