Guatemalan Republican Front
The Guatemalan Republican Front (FRG) is a political party in Guatemala, founded in 1991. It emerged from the political landscape following the end of the Guatemalan Civil War, aiming to represent the interests of the military and conservative sectors of society. The party gained prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s, advocating for a strong national defense and economic liberalization.
The FRG is known for its association with former military leader Efrain Rios Montt, who served as president during a controversial period in the early 1980s. The party has faced criticism for its ties to past human rights abuses and its stance on social issues, often polarizing public opinion in Guatemala.
