Academic analysis challenges FSLN ideological appropriation of Augusto C. Sandino

Researcher Alejandra G. Galicia argues that the FSLN retroactively imposed a Marxist framework on Augusto C. Sandino to legitimize its 1970s revolutionary movement. The study highlights how the FSLN constructed a historical narrative to mobilize international support and unify anti-Somocista factions, diverging from Sandino's original liberal ideology.
