El Salvador: A Historic Election

El Salvador: A Historic Election (Latin Pulse: April 30, 2009) The Latin Pulse Team brings you a special report on the historic election in Latin America. El Salvador, a tiny Central American country of 7 million inhabitants, recently elected Mauricio Funes, its first leftist president. Not unlike the evening Barack Obama was elected as President of the United States, the crowds in the capital city of San Salvador were chanting "S? se pudo" - "Yes we did!" The Funes party, the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, or FMLN, defeated the rightwing Nationalist Republican Alliance, the ARENA party, who has ruled the country for 20 years. In the 1980s, the FMLN, a coalition of former Marxist guerillas, fought a bitter war against the U.S. backed Salvadoran government. Thousands were killed, tortured, and disappeared. Salvadoran voters were voting for the FMLN candidate because they wanted change. They were worried about poverty, unemployment, and raging crime, and were not impressed by the right wing's well-financed media campaign, which stressed the dangers of communism. The U.S. government has always had a presence in Salvador's electoral process. For that reason, the FMLN publicly asked the American leadership to stay out of the 2009 election more than a year ago. It appears that they did. The next day, President Barack Obama called Funes to congratulate him on his victory. For a long time, El Salvador has been a staunch U.S. ally. Now, the smallest country in Central America has joined the increasing number of Latino American countries that have chosen to explore a change to the left. However, with a new U.S. president warmly shaking hands with Funes, Brazils Lula, and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, many are hopeful about the future of Latin American-US relations. May 7, 2009 1:28 PM

Interview with El Salvador's President-Elect Mauricio Funes

Interview with El Salvador's President-Elect Mauricio Funes (Latin Pulse: May 1, 2009) Link TV's Latin Pulse Team brings you an exclusive interview with El Salvador's president-elect Mauricio Funes in this second part of the special presentation "El Salvador: A Historic Election". El Salvador, a tiny Central American country, has elected its first leftist president. The Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front FMLN candidate Mauricio Funes won the election with 51.3% of the votes. Funes, 49, is a popular TV journalist with a reputation for honest and critical reporting. Funes' broadcasting journalism career spans over 20 years, including as a CNN correspondent for 15 years. In 1994 Funes was awarded the Columbian University Maria Moors Cabot Prize for outstanding reporting on Latin America and the Caribbean, and in 1996 he received a journalism prize from the Brazilian government. Real democracy may finally come to El Salvador with this unlikely FMLN candidate, who is individually more of a moderate than his colleagues. The president-elect faces many challenges, as El Salvador is gripped by economic and public-security crises. A quarter of the population depends on money sent by their relatives who are working in the United States. Yet these funds are drying up as the U.S. economic situation deteriorates. The nation has one of the highest homicide rates in the world: ten to twelve people die every day. Funes faces these issues, in addition to an angry, powerful and well-funded right wing, as well as hard-liners in his own party who may push for radical reforms. As Funes takes the reins of power on June 1st, people are waiting to see how U.S.-Salvadoran relations will change. For a long time, El Salvador has been a staunch U.S. ally. Now the smallest country in Central America has joined the increasing number of Latino American countries that have chosen a change to the left. However, with a new U.S. president warmly shaking hands with Funes, Brazils Lula, and even Venezuelas Hugo Chavez, many are hopeful about the future of Latin American-U.S. relations.

The War On Democracy

The War On Democracy Award winning journalist John Pilger examines the role of Washington in America's manipulation of Latin American politics during the last 50 years leading up to the struggle by ordinary people to free themselves from poverty and racism. Since the mid 19th Century Latin America has been the 'backyard' of the US, a collection of mostly vassal states whose compliant and often brutal regimes have reinforced the 'invisibility' of their majority peoples. The film reveals similar CIA policies to be continuing in Iraq, Iran and Lebanon. The rise of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez despite ongoing Washington backed efforts to unseat him in spite of his overwhelming mass popularity, is democratic in a way that we have forgotten or abandoned in the west. True Democracy being a solid 80% voter turnout in support of Chavez in over 6 elections. User: spam_vigilante Nov 9, 2007 11:58 PM
