From guerrilla fighters to political party: the Farabundo Martí Front for National Liberation (FMLN)
Keywords:
El Salvador, revolutionary movement, FMLN, civil warAbstract
This article examines the political, ideological and strategic evolution of the organizations of the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) of El Salvador since its inception in the seventies, until its transformation into a political party in 1992. The work shows how changes in national and international political context throughout the eighties, triggered a process of articulation of the goals of the revolutionary movement. This articulation meant a qualitative transformation of the goals of the Front from a position of total transformation of economic and political system, and monopoly of power by the revolutionary vanguard, to a new position of accepting the market economy and representative democracy. The culmination of this process, ushered in a period of internal splits and realignments in the Salvadoran revolutionary left that would last throughout the 1990’s.Downloads
