Revolutionary Popular Forces Lorenzo Zelaya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fuerzas Populares Revolucionarias Lorenzo Zelaya (Revolutionary Popular Forces Lorenzo Zelaya), was a clandestine politico-militar in Honduras. FPRLZ was formed in 1980 by dissidents of PCMLH. FPRLZ was inspired by the Nicaraguan revolution of 1979, and unlike the traditional communist parties (PCH and PCMLH), FPRLZ advocated guerrilla struggle.
FPRLZ maintained relations with Salvadorean Fuerzas Populares de Liberación, and later with FMLN when the front was more consolidated. In 1990 FPRLZ merged with other tendencies to form Partido Renovación Patriótica.
FPRLZ was named after the peasants leader Lorenzo Zelaya, who was murdered in 1965.
