CISPES: Upcoming International Observers/Solidarity Delegation

by HansBennett | 10.18.2008

I recently got this email alert from CISPES, arguing that "El Salvador is the next in line to join the Latin American shift to the left!" 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

CISPES International Observers / Solidarity Delegation

 March 9-19, 2009!

 

 

Recent polls in El Salvador show that the leftist FMLN party is 15% ahead over the right-wing presidential candidate from the ruling party. This only confirms what Salvadorans in the social movement, members of the FMLN, and the general public have been saying all along: El Salvador is the next in line to join the Latin American shift to the left!

The Committee with the People of El Salvador (CISPES) has a long solidarity relationship with the Salvadoran people. One way CISPES continues to support REAL democracy in El Salvador, opposing US economic, military, and political intervention, is by bringing international observers delegations to El Salvador. You too can support free and fair elections and learn about the current situation in El Salvador by joining the CISPES delegation from March 9-19, 2009.

As international observers, we will help to ensure that the elections are carried out in a peaceful climate for people to vote. We will guarantee that dirty tricks used in the 2004 elections by the US government and the right-wing ARENA party don’t happen again. And we will denounce any political violence and fraud that might occur during the election.

In addition to being present on the March 15 Election Day, we will:

  • meet with social movement groups to talk about the current economic and political situation
  • learn Salvadoran electoral law and the role of observers
  • prepare people to mobilize in the US through CISPES chapters and the emergency response network in order to challenge fraud OR defend a democratic victory.
