Salvadoran activists protest President Saca visit with Mayor Gavin Newsom
Salvadoran activists protest President Saca visit with Mayor Gavin Newsom
From IndyBay.org: Salvadorans were outraged on hearing that Newsom had declared April 4 as the “Day of Antonio Saca”, A group stormed his office that morning to demand answers. Before being quickly ushered out by police, they were told by a spokesperson that Newsom had not made this declared “Saca Day“, but a “day of friendship” between El Salvador and San Francisco. .... Saca is presiding over a resurgence of death squads. Brutal police attacks on activists, street vendors, and other dissidents, including the January 2008 murder of an opposition Mayor, are on the increase. A peaceful protest against water privatization has resulted in activists facing charges of up to 60 years in jail. A police force called ILEA, assembled under a School of the Americas model, is criminalizing dissent, including use of terrorism charges - similar to those used against U.S. Activists - against peaceful protestors. Activists consider his presidency illegitimate, reporting Bush Administration threats to cut off aid and deport Salvadorans prior to the election as intimidating the people into the outcome. Saca is promoting El Salvador as a having a business-friendly environment.

Arena pick to run against Violeta Menjívar, VP and one of the right wing party founders may be presidential candidate.
The far-right ARENA party has chosen Norman Quijano to run against incumbent Violeta Menjívar in the San Salvador mayoral race. Menjívar has been a member of the FMLN since 1979 and during the war gave medical aid to combatants in Chalatenango. (see wikipedia)
Quijano is a dentist and an ARENA deputy from San Salvador. The poster behind Quijano is a photo of death squad leader and party founder Roberto D'Aubuisson.
