FMLN (Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front)

The FMLN, or Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front, is a leftist political party in El Salvador that originated as a coalition of guerrilla groups during the Salvadoran Civil War (1980-1992). Named after a revolutionary leader, the FMLN fought against government repression and sought social justice. After the war, it transitioned into a legal political party and has participated in national elections. The FMLN aims to address issues like poverty, inequality, and human rights, promoting progressive policies in El Salvador's political landscape. The party has experienced both significant support and criticism in its governance since the war ended.
