El Salvador in Focus considers negotiations between the FMLN and Christiani regime
Date: 4/15/1990Call Number: LA 090AFormat: Cass AProgram: El Salvador in FocusCollection: El Salvador
The Christiani Government and the FMLN signed an initial agreement in Geneva under the auspices of the United Nations. To some this is a hopeful sign of change towards democratization and the protection of human rights in El Salvador. Others are skeptical, claiming true authority resides in the military and not with Christiani. This broadcast includes an interview with Larry Burns, Executive Director of the Council on Hemispheric Affairs. He doubts the military will relinquish their overwhelming control of the country or root out corruption within their ranks, regardless of treaties signed in Geneva.
El Salvador in Focus
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.
