FMLN and El Salvador government peace settlement
Date: 1/1/1992Call Number: JG/ 090Format: CassetteProducers: Judy GerberProgram: A Defiant HeartCollection: Programs produced by Judy Gerber and Laurie Simms
Interview with Gladis Sibrion, representative of the FMLN, regarding the New Year’s peace settlement between the FMLN and government of El Salvador. Sibrion sees the settlement as a victory for all Salvadorans because it represents the defeat of military control over civilian life. She outlines the major points of the settlement presented by the FMLN: cleansing of the military, establishing a new civilian police including FMLN representatives, dismantling civilian defense forces, reforming the judicial system, and establishing human rights oversight. Sibrion believes that while the U.S. wants to end the Salvadoran conflict, it also wants to retain a strong presence, which she believes requires a weakening of the FMLN. She notes mixed popular reaction to the settlement by the Salvadoran people - both of optimism and skepticism.
