The Movimiento Todos por la Patria (MTP) was an Argentine leftist guerrilla movement active from 1986 to 1989, whose leader was Enrique Gorriarán Merlo.
This organization was responsible for kidnappings, bombings and assaults on Argentine army barracks in the 1970s; later went on to collaborate with the Sandinistas to assassinate former Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle on September 17, 1980, who was living in exile in Paraguay.
[4][5] The MTP, claiming to be preventing a coup by the said elements, launched an attack on the Third Mechanized Infantry Regiment barracks in La Tablada (Regimiento de Infantería Mecanizada Nº 3, RIM3).
[6] In response, the Argentine Army and Buenos Aires Provincial Police launched a counterattack, and the ensuing fight left 39 dead and approximately 60 injured.
On 13 February 2011 Joaquín Ramos, an ex guerrilla, wrote a letter where he described how idealized the revolutionary struggle was and how improvised the assault was, in addition to his experience in the trials after the battle.
