Leonardo Arrabal Cruz Murillo (21 August 1898 - 12 December 1958) was a Montillan dictator who founded and led the National Renewal Alliance (ARENA). He was the Caudillo of Montilla from the Guaitiazo in 1945 until his summary execution following the Montillan Revolution in 1957. As the ruler of Montilla, Murillo is regarded as the deadliest figure in the history of the country, heading the Years of Desolation and overseeing the systematic persecution of minorities and political opposition.
Murillo was born in San Marcos del Sal, youngest son of a very wealthy sugarcane planter. He graduated with a journalism degree from the University of Guaitiao and was employed as an assistant broadcaster at Rádio Lunisolar in 1921, at the time the largest radio station in the country. Murillo gradually took a role of protagonism in the radio, considered to be charmimg and a "natural-born entertainer" by his peers, he received his own radio program in 1931, the Hora de los Hechos.
Murillo became involved in politics in late 1931, initially affiliating himself with the conservative Republican Alliance, but became disillusioned with the government of President Alonzo Varela and left the party in 1932. Murillo started gravitating towards nationalism and far-right rhetoric after the 1932 Punta Negra peasant uprising, and helped popularize the conspiracy theory that the uprising was planned by descendents of freed slaves and indigenous people seeking the "elimination of the white race", a theory which would become the foundation for the racial program of the ARENA.
In the midst of the 1932 Montillan economic depression, Murillo met Emanuel Sarmiento, poet and political writer and David Illescas, delegate for the province of Canaveral and secretary of public relations of the Republican Alliance. The three would develop the main ideological basis of Renovationalism, the Montillan strain of fascism, and form the National Renewal Alliance in 1934, growing the party through recruitment of nationalists and Murillo's radio program, which became the main propaganda arm of the movement.
