After El Salvador signed its peace accords in 1992, the FMLN was recognized as a legitimate political party.
To date, in March 1of 2009, the FMLN candidate Mauricio Funes won the presidential seat the FMLN currently controls the majority of its National Assembly seats.
In recognition of, and to celebrate, FMLN contri bution to the liberation of El Salvador from what was seen as its pervious Fascist government, there will be an array of festive events and dance at the Woman’s Building, on 18th Street (between Mission and Valencia) here in S.F. on Oct. 8, at 7 p.m. For more information, call (415) 309-4813.
