The historical significance of this shift in power cannot be understated in light of the repressive rule that the Salvadoran right-wing has exerted over the people since the massacre of nearly 30,000 indigenous campesinos in 1932. In electing the FMLN, the political party formed in 1980 as an alliance of popular armed forces that fought back against widespread state repression, the Salvadoran people have created an opportunity to realize the goals of social and economic justice.

Of course, intl. solidarity will be crucial for the upcoming elections in El Salvador, and particularly we in the US, have a huge role to play, since the US govt. has such a long, terrible history of malicious intervention in El Salvador to crush 1)a legitimate poor people's movement, and 2) a nationalist movement telling the US that they could not continue their imperialist influence on the country.--------Hans
