Résumé anglais The 1968 movement in Mexico, Annick Lempérière-Roussin. The 1968 student movement presented in Mexico forms of contestation to which the political regime — stable and authoritarian — was not accustomed the fear of an autonomous mass movement which might acquire its own legitimacy and cause a snow bail phenomenon led to massive repression. This was reinforced by the proximity of the Olympic Games. But as an end-result of the 1960s in which anti-Castrism, anti-imperialism and social utopianism flourished, the Mexican 1968 movement was also a revolt of civil society against the authoritarian regime of the Institutional Revolutionary Party. The voluntaristic students and intellectuals of 1968 can be considered the precursors of the civil struggles which have recently taken place on the occasion of each election.
