Guatemalan Democratic Vanguard

Guatemalan Democratic Vanguard (Spanish: Vanguardia Democrática Guatemalteca) was a left-wing group in Guatemala. The VDG was founded on 28 September 1947 by a faction of the Revolutionary Action Party (PAR).[1] The leader of the VDG was José Manuel Fortuny.[1] The group had Marxist inspiration, and operated a semi-clandestine fashion.[1] It supported urban and rural labour movements.[1]
