Carlos Fonseca Amador: Rebellious spirit of democratic and anti-imperialist values (+seeding)

On November 8, 1976, the leader of the Nicaraguan revolution, Carlos Fonseca Amador, known for his defense of the disadvantaged and for being one of the founders of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), died in combat in the jungle of Zinica.

In 1956, he was imprisoned after the execution of dictator Anastasio Somoza (who was involved in the assassination of another revolutionary, Augusto César Sandino, decades ago). Four months later, he left prison.

Fonseca's Marxist ideas were the cause of the persecution of the Somoza regime, however, he founded, together with Commander Tomás Borge Martínez, Santos López and Silvio Mayorga, the most important party in the Central American country.
