date of foundation

[edit]

Someone changed the foundation date in the article to 1913. However, this party was actually founded between 1918 and 1919. Erik Ching's book Authoritarian El Salvador provides a detailed explanation of the party's origins: "This split within the military would prove to be an enduring legacy of the 1919 election. It was in the midst of the heated electoral campaign that Quinonez founded both the PND and the Liga Roja." (p.181) Whoever thinks it was founded in 1913 is probably mistaking it for the Club Melendista, which was founded in 1913. However, Club Melendista was founded by Carlos Melendez and it wasn't an actual political party like the PND was.Ames86 (talk) 18:50, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
