Officially based upon Italian Fascism, the party members drafted a manifesto entitled Manifiesto del Partido Fascista Mexicano a la Nación.

[4][5][6] The party was formed largely in opposition to the effects of the Mexican Revolution by urban and rural middle-class supporters who opposed socialism and agrarian reform who saw fascism as an alternative.

However, members of the Mexican Fascist Party, including Pous, rapidly joined the National Political League, which supported Ángel Flores's presidential campaign.

It, in fact, assumed the aspect of a political movement tending to gather in the whole country old conservative and Catholic forces dispersed by the revolution, and to form, in this way, a party clearly opposed to the actual government.
