Audio Interview Regarding the Upcoming Elections

You can listen to an interesting audio interview with Lara Pullin of the Canberra Committee of the FMLN and her opinions on the upcoming elections and the current state of Human Rights in El Salvador. I originally found this audio source on a far left wing blog called Left Click, so please keep in mind that is coming from a specific point of view. I can tell you that we were able to verify some of these same issues regarding the upcoming elections including the split elections, which will make it difficult for the most poor and rural communities to vote in both the local and the presidential elections, and propaganda campaigns regarding the potential shutting off of remittance if the FMLN were to win a majority in the elections when we met with the Supreme Electoral Tribunal during our visit. This interview is worth a listen.
