		The election in 1989 of Alfredo Cristiani of D'Aubuisson's ARENA party, amid allegations of ballot-rigging, appeared to herald a return to a hard line against the FMLN rebels.
		In general elections in March 2000, the FMLN displaced the ruling ARENA as the largest party in Congress, but did not win an overall majority.

		Salvadoran diplomats (René León, Salvadoran Ambassador to the United States, and Margarita Escobar, Salvadoran Ambassador to the OAS) made pro-ARENA statements during the campaign.
		Note to Salvadorans and foreign observers: fraude has already been committed… what is certain is that the cowardice and with which they have offended and robbed the Salvadoran national consciousness… fraud has already been committed… Without pointing out other vile tricks that, without a doubt, they are going to employ, fraude has already been committed.

		It is a party divided between moderates and former guerrilla forces, with the moderates losing the FMLN presidential primary before the presidential election by a very narrow, and, as some moderates assert, questionable vote.
		Regarding election observation, many of us felt and reported to our sponsoring organization, the Center for Exchange and Solidarity in San Salvador, that the election process, though complicated, appeared to run quite smoothly and transparently, where rival partisans more often had warm rather than heated exchanges.

		The majority of the abuses have been blamed on right-wing death squads and the Salvadoran military, which was supported in its fight against the FMLN by hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. aid.
		Though Salvadorans cannot vote from outside the country, many hundreds are flying home to participate in the election.
		In the Bay Area, the Salvadorans who arrived in the 1980s fleeing war tend to be sympathetic to the FMLN, said Cardona, but many more have emigrated since then for economic reasons, and they are just as likely to be politically conservative or uncommitted.

	Presidential rivals wage bitter fight in El Salvador - The Boston Globe
		SAN SALVADOR - The Cold War has made a comeback in El Salvador, where today's presidential election pits a former leftist guerrilla leader against a conservative media mogul in the nastiest contest since the end of the country's 12-year civil war.
		Like most wealthy Salvadorans, Reyes said she planned to vote for Elias Antonio Saca, a 39-year-old former TV sportscaster turned businessman.
		Partly as a result, hundreds of thousands of Salvadorans have received US work visas, sending home a record $2.1 billion dollars to their families last year, according to the government.

		Following the election, president-elect Saca promised to be the “president of all Salvadorans,” and offered to work with the FMLN and other political parties.
		Saca’s election was less an endorsement of ARENA's economic platform, and more a rejection of the FMLN’s candidate Schafik Handal (who himself ran a highly polarizing and ideological campaign).
		As other elections approach in Latin America (municipal elections will be held in November in Nicaragua, and there is uncertainty over whether or not elections will be called in Venezuela), the U.S. should respect and support institutional democratic processes, rather than pick winners and losers.

		U.S. public conduct in the run-up to the Salvadoran elections will reflect this maturation, by unequivocally expressing respect for multi-party democracy and the willingness to work in good faith with any party that might assume the Executive branch.

		El Salvador held presidential elections in March 2004, and like the one we gringos are sweating through now, in many ways it was about fear.
