The Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) is a political party in Nicaragua, originally founded as a left-wing political-military organization in 1961 by Carlos Fonseca Amador, Santos Lopez, Tomas Borge, Silvio Mayorga and German Pomares Ordonez, among others.

In 1979, after a long struggle, the FSLN managed to overthrow the dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza Debayle and the dynasty of the Somoza family, which had ruled the country for decades. A government was established, in which the Sandinistas ruled between 1979 and 1990. Since 1981, the Sandinista government had to face the Contra, a militia financed and trained by the CIA in order to overthrow the FSLN. After the constitutional reform of 1987 and the fight against the Contra, which lasted until 1989, the Sandinistas lost the elections of February 25, 1990, becoming opposition.
