The New Order (, NOR) was a nationalist Venezuelan political party, with anticommunist and fascist tendencies that came from a student movement influenced by the authoritarian ideas of former Venezuelan president Marcos Evangelista Pérez Jiménez. The movement originated from the "Universidad Central de Venezuela" (Central University of Venezuela) being originally called the "Frente Nacionalista" (Nationalist front) until it integrated itself into the "Frente Unido Nacionalistia" (United Nationalist Front) in 1973 before splitting from the party a few years before the elections of that year. It was founded as a national party in Caracas in 12 January 1974 where it established the title "Nuevo Orden." It was first led by Miguel Cevedo Marín until Félix Díaz Ortega became the leader of the organization in 1978 who shifted the party closer into Neo-Nazism.
History.
Elections.
Its national headquarters was located in Schaffer Street in the Buena Vista Sector of Petare, Caracas, where it participated in multiple student, union, social, and humanitarian projects among the population, especially the elderly diabetics. The party had a presence in more than 15 states, with its strongest bastions in Caracas, Miranda, Delta Amacuro, Yaracuy, Falcón, Carabobo, and Lara.
The party participated in several national and regional electoral elections immediately after its split from the "Frente Unideo Nacionalistia." Beginning in 1973, the party established itself as a national party however, since it was established after the presidential nominations it was not able to participate in the elections of that year. It's important to note that even though the party only achieved a some hundred votes in 1973, in 1974, NOR was able to achieve more than 10,000 votes in the regional elections, which became the highest votes in the party's whole history. In 1978, the party (led by Miguel Cevedo Marín at the time) postulated the presidential candidate for the bipartisan party, the "Acción Democrática" however, Félix Díaz Ortega, who was not a member of the party of the time, instigated a change in support for the other bipartisan party, Copei. Félix Díaz Ortega soon became leader of the party.
In the 1988 elections, the party presented José de la Trinidad Rojas Contreras as a candidate for the presidency under the "Coalición Nacional para el Cambio" (National coalition for change) together with the Araguaney Independent Movement. In 1992, the party obtained enough votes to access the newly created municipality of Chacao in Caracas, but their rights were denied by the then current government. From the 1993 elections and the years following, Félix Díaz Ortega presented himself as presidential candidate but always achieved poor results. in 2001, Félix Díaz Ortega organized with other opposition movements towards the government of Hugo Chávez, pickets signs that read "Out with Communism in the barracks!" In 2002 however, the dissolution of the party was decided by the administrative resolution of the National Electoral Council and the party ceased to exist.
Association.
NOR always had strengthened its ties with the Spanish fascist FET y de las JONs political party and with the Spanish "Fuerza Nueva" party after during Spain's transition to democracy. In 1995 when the French politician and National Front leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen, went on to become the third political force in the country, New Order strengthened ties with the French National Front.
NOR militant bases were varied, from nostalgic the followers or former president Marcos Pérez Jiménez, to supporters of the New Right, or Neo-Nazis. The Tel Aviv University accused Nuevo Orden in 1997 of instigating antisemitic propaganda in Caracas because of graffiti that read "I have a crematorium in my pocket" and "Death to the Jews."
Programme.
The party's ambitions were summarized in 25 points of action aimed at developing a hypothetical government:
