• This chapter analyses the case study of M-19 (Movimiento 19 de abril) [April 19 Movement], a Colombian guerrilla organisation active until 1990. Considering the difficulty and limitations related to the complete understanding of the Colombian armed struggle, and the shades of a memory and narration made of past and present, distortions and constructions, the aim of this chapter is the reconstruction of the public memory on the M-19 by means of the contrast between the narrative as memory of the M-19 and the official narrative. This contrast will re-signify the incidence of the guerrilla for the purpose of a change in the concept of politics, democracy through armed struggle to reach a different project for the country, it also allows us to reconstruct the past in the present.
