Alberto Fuentes Mohr

Alberto Fuentes Mohr

Alberto Fuentes Mohr (1927 – 25 January 1979) was a Guatemalan politician, one of the founders of the Social Democratic Party, a progressive opposition political party. He had also served as foreign minister during the 1960s. He was trained as an economist at the London School of Economics.

Fuentes Mohr was assassinated in 1979 (as was former Guatemala City mayor and leading opposition politician Manuel Colom Argueta) during a time of political repression by the right-wing military dominated government during the regime of General Fernando Romeo Lucas García (president from 1978 until he was overthrown in 1982 by another right-wing faction of the military). Earlier in February 1970, as foreign minister, he was briefly kidnapped by FAR guerrillas, but was released just before election day, after FAR rebel Vicente Girón Valvillo was freed from prison by the government.
