			==History==
			The FULNA was founded in 1959 in [[Montevideo]], [[Uruguay]]. Inspired by the [[Cuban Revolution]], the group was primarily composed of militants from the Paraguayan Communist Party who believed armed struggle was the only way to seize power. Despite intending to learn from the mistakes of a previous failed movement (the [[Movimiento 14 de Mayo]]), FULNA's strategy was flawed from the outset. Their initial incursion into Paraguay from Argentina in 1960 was a complete disaster. The group received no support from Argentine authorities and was ruthlessly crushed by Stroessner's forces, led by General Patricio Colmán. Repression was extremely brutal, involving torture, disappearances, and "[[death flights]]" where prisoners were thrown from airplanes into the [[Paraná River]]—a practice conducted with collaboration from Argentine and Uruguayan officials. The failed campaign resulted in the removal of its leader, Óscar Creydt, and the group's efforts to incite a peasant revolution were entirely unsuccessful due to the regime's violent and effective reprisals. The story highlights the futility and devastating human cost of this attempt at armed resistance against Stroessner's well-established dictatorship.

			Among its main leaders were [[Chaco War]] veterans Fabián Zaldívar Villagra and Lorenzo Arrú.
