The Popular Liberation Front (Spanish: Frente Popular Libertador, or FPL) was a reformist Guatemalan political party formed in 1944 largely patronized by the middle class[1] and university students.[2] It was a part of the popular movement that overthrew dictator Jorge Ubico and began the Guatemalan Revolution. During this period, it was one of the two largest Guatemalan parties, the other being the National Renovation Party (PRN) led by teachers.[3]
