United National Liberation Front (Paraguay)

United National Liberation Front (in Spanish: Frente Unido de Liberación Nacional, abbreviated FULNA) was a Communist guerrilla movement and political party in Paraguay that fought against the regime of dictator Alfredo Stroessner. FULNA was founded in 1960 though by the end of the decade the movement was virtually eradicated by the Paraguayan military with its leaders and members either arrested, executed, imprisoned, tortured, or killed in action. One unit, Columna Mariscal López, continued to exist until the 1970s, when it was finally eradicated.
