Editing Neo-Nazism (section)

==== Uruguay ====
In 1998, a group of people belonging to the "Joseph Goebbels Movement" tried to burn down a synagogue, which also served as a Hebrew school, in the Pocitos neighborhood of [[Montevideo]] in Uruguay; an [[antisemitism|antisemitic]] pamphlet signed by the group was found in the building after the quick action of firefighters saved it. Another group, the racist and antisemitic neo-Nazi {{lang|de|Euroamerikaners}} group, founded in 1996, said when they were interviewed by the newspaper ''La República de Montevideo'' that they had no involvement with the attack on the synagogue, but revealed that they maintain contacts with a group called {{lang|es|Poder Blanco}} ("White Power"), also Uruguayan, as well as with neo-Nazi groups from [[Argentina]] and several European countries. Through the Internet they have received the solidarity of the ''Patria'' pro-fascist group, based in Spain. They also said that in the city of [[Canelones, Uruguay]], fifty kilometers from Montevideo, there is a clandestine "[[Aryan Christianity|Aryan church]]" which uses rituals taken from the [[Ku Klux Klan]]. The {{lang|de|Euroamerikaners}} declared that they did not tolerate interracial or gay couples. One of the militants said in the interview that "... if we see a black man with a white woman, we break them up ...". Other neo-Nazi incidents in Uruguay in 1998 included the bombing of a Jewish-owned small business in February, which injured two people, and the appearance of posters celebrating the anniversary of Hitler's birthday in April.<ref name=clarin>{{cite news|author=<!--Not stated-->|title=Preocupa un avance neonazi en Uruguay|url=https://www.clarin.com/ediciones-anteriores/preocupa-avance-neonazi-uruguay_0_SJXbmp1J8hx.html|date=23 June 1998|newspaper=Clarín|access-date=19 July 2019|archive-date=28 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028004717/https://www.clarin.com/ediciones-anteriores/preocupa-avance-neonazi-uruguay_0_SJXbmp1J8hx.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
