[mobglob-discuss] This Friday - FMLN Parliamentarians face revival of death squads

[Alan Ward]

 El Salvador
HOPE FOR THE FUTURE


Friday, October 17 at 7 pm, IWA Hall, 2859 Commercial Drive

Guest speakers: FMLN Member of Congress in El Salvador Blanca Flor Bonilla, Vancouver City Councillor Tim Louis, SFU Latin American Studies Professor Bob Everton and Alicia Barsallo, teacher, community activist and 2001 NDP candidate for Vancouver/Kingsway. 

In the face of increasing pressure and the drive for consolidation of global power by the United States, people in Latin America are responding with their own brand of revolution. Broad coalitions are coming together to fight back the neo-liberal model. The defeat of the recent round of talks at the WTO in Cancun, the election of "Lula" in Brazil, the popular support for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, and the electoral progress of the FMLN in El Salvador are signs that the people if united will never be defeated. 

Blanca Flor Bonilla will talk about the progress made by the Frente Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) in El Salvador. After 15 years of right wing rule by the ARENA party, the FMLN appears poised to win the presidential elections in March 2004. The right has responded by reviving the death squads, however, and banning the entry of observers into El Salvador.  Blanca Flor Bonilla is the FMLN’s Coordinator for International Relations.
