Salvadoran Opposition
for Alliance
FMLN (the Farabundo
Marti National
Liberation Front) in El
Salvador invited CD (Cambio
Democratico) and FDR
(Democratic
Revolutionary Front) to
form a left-wing bloc
for the next elections
of March 2009.
A member of FDR
confirmed to La Prensa
Grafica daily on-line
edition that opposition
presidential candidate
of FMLN, Mauricio Funes,
requested a meeting with
FMLN leaders and urged
CD leaders to follow
suit and talk about a
possible electoral
alliance.
According to the source,
who requested to remain
anonymous, the FDR
coalition welcomed the
proposal, with some of
its members, including
general coordinator Rene
Conjura, backing it
publicly.
Latest opinion polls
point to FMLN as the
favourite, with Funes as
the presidential
candidate and Salvador
Sanchez Ceren as his
running mate for the
vice presidential post. |
