This article is about the student leader in Mexico, Marcelino Perelló Valls; for his father, the Catalan activist, see Marcelino Perelló Domingo.

Marcelino Perelló Valls was a leader of the Mexican Student Movement of 1968,[1][2] and the representative of the School of Sciences of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) to the National Strike Council (CNH).[3] Perelló has been a member of the Mexican Communist Party (PCM)[4] since 1965.

At the beginning of the movement, he was arrested on July 27 after the police raided the PCM’s semi-clandestine premises on Mérida street on July 26, 1968,[5] in Mexico City; he was released next day.

After the Tlatelolco massacre, he was in exile in Europe the following year; he was in exile for 16 years.[6] He was in France, Romania and Spain, and in 1975 he graduated in Mathematics from the University of Bucharest, and two years later he obtained a master’s degree of Science from the same institution.

As a professor, he taught at the University of Barcelona from 1977 to 1985; at the Autonomous University of Sinaloa from 1985 to 1986, and at the Autonomous University of Puebla, from 1987 to 1988. He has been a professor at the School of Sciences of the UNAM,[7] since 1990, where he once was a Physics student. During his student participation at the UNAM, he was a representative at the Consejo Nacional de Huelga, and part of the top leadership during Mexico 68's movement.

Marcelino Perelló is currently the Secretary General for the Museo Universitario del Chopo.[8] He is a collaborator for the newspaper Excélsior.[9] and he is a columnist and a writer. Perelló has a weekly radio show on Radio UNAM, called "En sentido contrario"[10] ("In Opposite Direction").
