Andrea Amores, also known as La Pequeña Pájara ("The Little Bird") was a Syndicalist and Communist activist and politician from Maracaibo. The only daughter of a deceased Maracaibo Patriotic War partisan, Amores attended university at Maracaibo International School, but dropped out in her third year to pursue politcal activism. Amores is known for her work at recruiting and coordinating the Syndicalist volunteers in Red Leoterra during the North Abyaalan War. After the close of the war and disbanding of the Volunteers, she became influenced with Menghe Communist thought, which she had come into contact with by meeting with Communist volunteers from Menghe. Her firm stance on Left Unity and continued cooperation with the more authoritarian ideology led to her popularity within the Maracaibean Syndicalist Party to drop, with her being stripped of all titles and ousted in the summer of 1975. She faded into political obscurity until after the Decembrist Revolution in 1987, whereupon she publicly renounced her support for the Menghean government, and apologized for her interim views in a private letter to the Syndicalist Party Headquarters. She became a member of the Syndicalist party again in 1990, and remained active until her death in 2011, giving lectures and participating in debates at various institutions.
