The Liga Nacional de Acción Ruralista (National League for Rural Action) was a Uruguayan organization founded in 1964 by Benito Nardone and Juan Maria Bordaberry (who became President of Uruguay, 1972-1976). It shifted between supporting the National Party and the Colorado Party.[1]
Its antecedent was the Liga Federal de Acción Ruralista, established in 1951. The League was designed to promote and defend rural interests.
