National Democratic Movement (Guatemala)

National Democratic Movement (Movimiento Democratico Nacional, MDN) was a Guatemala military-backed party formed in 1954 by President Carlos Castillo Armas. It was the ruling party from 1954 until 1958. The party supported the Government of President Miguel Ydígoras Fuentes (1958-1963). It disbanded after the 1963 coup. “One faction, the National Liberation Movement (MLN), remained a major party of the right wing well into the 1980s. The other faction, the National Reformist Movement, never became a major factor in electoral politics.[1]
