MONTERROSA CUBIAS, Luis Gerardo. For the Democracy and Freedom of Guatemala! Exiles During the Ubico Administration on the Southern Border of Mexico (1934-1938). Secuencia [online]. 2020, n.107, e1736.  Epub June 15, 2020. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i107.1736.

This article examines the activity of two exiles from the regime led by Jorge Ubico (1931-1944) in Mexico during the Cardenas administration and the reaction of both governments to determine why, despite the intentions of the Mexican government to stay out of Guatemalan political affairs, Miguel García Granados and Clemente Marroquín Rojas hovered around the southern border of Mexico, setting off alarms for the ruling party. Through an investigation into the archives of Guatemala and Mexico, including Chiapas, the study of the Guatemalan exile acquires fresh nuances, inserting it into the southern border and showing the support networks exiles formed with cardenism dissidents.

Keywords : political dissent; exile; continuity; diplomatic relations; authoritarianism.
