FMLN (Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional)

The FMLN (Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional) is a political and former armed insurgent group in El Salvador, formed in the 1980s to oppose government repression and fight for social justice. Originally rooted in a civil war, they transitioned from guerrilla fighters to a legal political party after peace accords in 1992. Today, the FMLN operates within El Salvador's democratic system, advocating for social programs, economic reforms, and policies aimed at reducing inequality. Their journey reflects a shift from armed resistance to political participation, influencing national debates on development, justice, and governance.
