3/23: Two days after El Salvador held its highly anticipated election, ARENA's Tony Saca has won another five years for the ruling party. After oppressive tactics on part of the ARENA government to keep out election observers failed, FMLN supporters began a massive mobilization that gave hope to many that ARENA would be ousted. Supporters in red flooded the election polling places in massive numbers, and throughout the day it appeared that guerilla FMLN candidate Schafik Handal was in the lead. After spending over $55 million on a campaign of fear, Tony Saca was able to coerce a win. The FMLN has vowed that it will continue to fight US imperialism in all its forms, especially CAFTA's impending plans for the people of El Salvador.
