Quick Summary

The National Conciliation Party (Partido de Conciliación Nacional; PCN) was established in El Salvador in 1961. It controlled the national government for 18 years, from 1961 to 1979. Under the banner of the Alliance for Progress, the PCN advanced programs aimed at economic growth and diversification, taking advantage of trade opportunities within the Central American Common Market. Despite a greater degree of political liberty appearing with the rise of the Christian Democratic Party, the PCN's influence persisted. The party was dismantled and replaced by the PCN after a coup in January 1961.1
