National Democratic Front (Peru)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
National Democratic Front (in Spanish: Frente Democrático Nacional) was a political coalition in Peru that was founded in 1944 in Arequipa by ultraconservative Manuel J. Bustamante de la Fuente.[1] Future president Fernando Belaúnde Terry was also present during the party's foundation. The initial coalition comprised APRA, the far-right Reformist Democratic Party and the fascist Revolutionary Union party, ultimately excluding the Peruvian Communist Party.[1] The alliance led to the triumph of ultraconservative José Luis Bustamante y Rivero becoming president the same year.[1]
