Juan Carulla

[1] He became associated with the followers of Leopoldo Lugones and, along with Rodolfo Irazusta, helped to found and edit the journal La Nueva República (LNR) in 1927.[7] Along with Julio Irazusta, Carulla asked right-wing General José Félix Uriburu to lead a coup against the liberal government of Hipólito Yrigoyen in 1927.[8] He was to form part of the Maurras-inspired elite, alongside the Irazusta brothers, Ernesto Palacio, Bruno Jacovella and others, who took up their pens in defence of the new regime and effectively supplied it with an ideology.[11] He was also a harsh critic of democracy, arguing that it was a product of the French Revolution that was alien and irrelevant to Hispanic countries, which, he contended, required authoritarian governments.[11] He further believed in the importance of the family and looked to Francisco Franco in his desire to establish a "juvenile Falange" in which young men would be organised at the disposal of the government.
