Julio Irazusta
Julio Alberto Gustavo Irazusta (23 July 1899 – 5 May 1982)[citation needed] was an Argentine writer and politician who was one of the leading lights of the nacionalista movement of the 1920s and 1930s.Irazusta was born close to the Rincon del Cura area of Gualeguaychú, Entre Ríos into a family noted for its support of radical politics.[1] Both men came under the influence of the Spanish rightist Ramiro de Maeztu although Irazusta balanced this by also following the writings of Italian liberal Benedetto Croce.[1] Upon his return to Argentina in 1931 Julio Irazusta worked closely with his brother Rodolfo as the two sought to develop an Argentine native form of fascism.[1] They worked together closely on the journal Accion Republicana and in this developed a strong nativist line in which they argued against foreign economic involvement in Argentina and the liberalism that they believed this engendered.
