Contents/Summary

Summary
The right-wing party arose in 1981 during the armed conflict in El-Salvador. It seized power in 1989 with Alfredo Cristiani as president. The party, settled in the presidency of the Republic since 1989, faces now the challenge of reinventing itself after twenty years in power, in order to win the 2009 presidential elections. For the first time since its legalization, the political party that arose from the Salvadorean guerrilla thanks to the 1992 Peace Accords, the FMLN, is capable of winning the elections. Their candidate, the journalist Mauricio Funes, is presented as someone who neither did take up weapons during the armed conflict nor did he belong to the diplomatic structure of the FMLN in the 80's. The 15th of March 2009 presidential elections could be considered as the last battle, the great battle at the ballot box. Never before in the history of El Salvador, has been the left-wing so close to seize power through democratic means.
