Legionary Action (Spanish: Acción Legionaria, AL) was a youth-based[3] cultural and political organization based in Lima, Peru. The group aimed to introduce fascist ideals into contemporary Peruvian politics, and provide a space for individuals interested in classical fascism. The group upheld the legacy of former president Luis M. Sánchez Cerro and claimed to be the heirs of the former nationalist political party Revolutionary Union ('Unión Revolucionaria', UR). During its period of activities, Legionary Action attempted to become a fascist party, but would eventually dissolve in 2016.
