El Salvador Ruling Party
Accused of Violence
SAN SALVADOR - The
opposition Farabundo
Marti National
Liberation Front (FMLN)
in El Salvador hold the
ruling Nationalist
Republican Alliance
(ARENA) accountable for
the riots in this
capital related with
forthcoming elections.
According to the FMNL
denunciations a group of
activists from ARENA
attacked supporters of
the left-wing party,
wounding four seriously.
The coordinator of the
FMLN Campaign Command in
San Salvador Lorena Peña
denounced physical and
verbal aggression by
ARENA's party members
who were accompanying
the candidate to
mayoralty in the capital
Norman Quijano to the
Farabundo Communication
Brigade.
It is reprehensible that
Norman Quijano said in
public that there were
90 activists in front of
25 from the FMLN but
more worrying is that he
expressed that his
brigades are armed,
emphasized Peña.
The FMLN leader Roberto
Lorenzana assured that
with the view to avoid
violence in the
electoral campaign the
government party
rejected an invitation
issued to all political
parties to sign an
agreement.
“We want a peaceful
campaign, we regret
Thursday's event so it
is necessary to
coordinate information
among parties to avoid
incidents, emphasized
Lorenzana.
The Front called the
authorities, specially
the National Civil
Police, to investigate
the riots and put end to
this type of events
which has become a
routine in every
election period. |
