New Acropolis

New Acropolis (NA; Spanish: Organización Internacional Nueva Acrópolis; OINA; French: Organisation Internationale Nouvelle Acropole, association internationale sans but lucratif) is a non-profit organisation originally founded in 1957 by Jorge Ángel Livraga Rizzi in Argentina positioning itself as a school of philosophy, although various researchers characterize it as an esoteric and post-theosophical new religious movement, a designated cult according to the French government. As of 2010, it claimed branches in more than forty countries. As of 2020, its president is Carlos Adelantado Puchal.

New Acropolis has received criticisms for several decades, in particular about its alleged use of paramilitary structure and symbols and the apparent influence of fascist models on them.
