The Uruguayan Youth Standing [1] or Uruguayan Youth at Attention [2] ( Spanish: Juventud Uruguaya de Pie) was a right to far-right student organization in Uruguay during the 1970s.
This relatively short-lived organization (it was dissolved in 1974 [3]) had a Patriotic and anti-Communist orientation and was opposed to the insurgency of the Tupamaros and other far-left organizations. [4] It experienced rapid growth, but its armed struggle efforts were relatively less successful. [5] A factional undercurrent of the group desired a national revolution along the lines of Falangism. [3]
The main colours of their flag represent the two traditional major Uruguayan political parties: the National Party (white) and the Colorado Party (red). Presidents Jorge Pacheco Areco and Juan María Bordaberry both spoke positively of the group. [6]
