![El Salvador in Focus](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
The government of El Salvador votes to continue a “state of siege” despite internal opposition. The state suspends constitutional rights and expands the power of the military. Unions in El Salvador call for a political solution and the integration of FMLN into a new democratic government. Meanwhile, in the U.S. opposition to U.S. military assistance and financial aid grows, perhaps catalyzed by the recent murder of 6 Jesuit priests. Bills to end aid have been introduced to Congress, one sponsored by John Kerry and Edward Kennedy. Don White, an organizer for the Los Angeles chapter of the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES), comments on the developments in Congress and on the work that CISPES is doing.
