IED Colegio Carlos Pizarro Leongómez is located in Bosa (Bogotá). The school
is named for Carlos Pizarro Leongómez (1951-1990). Expelled from Universidad
Javeriana after having organized a strike, Pizarro joined the Fuerzas Armadas
Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) in 1968. A founding member in 1971 of
Movimiento 19 de Abril (M-19), he was involved in most guerilla actions
organized by the movement. Jailed from 1979 to 1983, Pizarro resumed armed
struggle until the cease-of-fire signed on 24 August 1984. The truce was broken
after the attempt against the M-19 spokesperson, Antonio Navarro Wolff (b.
1948); Pizarro organized Batallón América, active in Cauca Department. On 5
November 1985, M-19 assaulted the Palace of Justice in Bogotá. Ten days later,
the building was seized by the army; ten magistrates of the Supreme Court and
more than 100 guerilleros and soldiers were killed during the event. On 13 March
1986, Pizarro succeeded Alvaro Fayad (1946-1986) as the leader of M-19. On 25
January 1990, M-19 abandoned armed struggle and morphed into a political party,
Alianza Democrática M-19. Pizarro announced on 9 March 1990 he would be
candidate to the municipal election in Bogotá, and, 15 days later, to the
presidential election. Pizarro promoted a nationalist, Bolivarian program based
on social equity, tolerance and respect of ideological pluralism. Murdered on 26
April in a plane flying to Baranquilla, Pizarro was succeeded by Antonio Navarro
Wolff, who would be the first ex-guerillero to be appointed Minister (Minister
of Health; 1990-1991).
