History

The party began as a left-wing, reformist faction within FRETILIN named FRETILIN Mudança, seeking to reform the party from within.[1] In April 2006 the group attempted to remove Marí Alkatiri as FRETILIN general secretary. In the 2007 elections the group supported the former FRETILIN member José Ramos-Horta for the presidency and the National Congress for Timorese Reconstruction in the parliamentary elections.[1] Group leader José Luis Guterres was appointed Vice Prime Minister in the Xanana Gusmão-led government.[1]

Following the elections, the group renamed itself FRETLIN (removing the "I" for independence) and attempted to register as a political party for the 2012 elections. However, the Court of Appeal rejected the application, deeming that its name was too similar to FRETILIN. It submitted a second application under the name "FRENTI-Mudança", which was accepted in July 2011, although the party was forced to change its flag, as it was deemed too similar to that of FRETILIN.[1]

gollark: How do you pronounce `|=`, "pipe equals"?
gollark: Nonsense, "urbit" is 5.
gollark: ```|= end=@ :: 1=/ count=@ 1 :: 2|- :: 3^- (list @) :: 4?: =(end count) :: 5 ~ :: 6:- count :: 7$(count (add 1 count)) ```This is some utterly hellish hybrid of Lisp and... I don't even know.
