El Salvador's FMLN
Presidential Ticket
Over 70,000 Salvadorians
are expected to gather
at the Cuzcatlan stadium
Sunday to proclaim the
Farabundo Marti National
Liberation Front's (FMLN)
presidential ticket for
the March 2009
elections.
Outstanding journalist
Mauricio Funes and
legislator Salvador
Sanchez Ceren, also
known as Leonel
Gonzalez, will be the
front's runners for the
presidency and vice
presidency,
respectively.
In statements to Prensa
Latina, Sanchez Ceren
affirmed this national
assembly is very
important for the Latin
American reality, where
democratic changes are
being consolidated.
"The extreme rightwing
was defeated in
Nicaragua and Guatemala,
and Venezuela is in the
process of building a
nation with the vision
of the socialism of the
21st century, the deputy
added.
In addition, the FMLN
has achieved a major
accumulation of forces
and has become a
political party with
responsibilities at the
levels of the State,
municipal governments,
and the Legislative
Assembly.
For this reason, the
population sees the
front as a serious
organization, with full
capacity to rule the
country and resolve the
needs of the poorest
sectors, the candidate
pointed out. |
