El Salvador in Peace National Alliance, the National Unit of Workers, Social and Popular Organizations of El Salvador, the Salvadoran Left Movement (MIS), the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) and other groups of various tendencies called to join forces to face the challenge of the government.
Among other things, the Bloque de Resistencia y Rebeldía Popular called on all democratic, revolutionary and progressive forces to unite in the fight for peace across the board and to lead the country on the democratic path that the government of President Nayib Bukele is believed to have embarked on away.
Likewise, the Movement of Victims of the Regime (Movir) urged to take part in the concentration that will leave the central Cuscatlán Park towards Civic Square in this capital to “raise their voices for those who are afraid to speak”. .
Meanwhile, the Confederation of Salvadoran Agrarian Reform Associations encouraged its members to march “for agriculture, for a dignified life and for our rights”.
The issue of peace accords has gained prominence in recent days after the Legislative Assembly approved the release of a public statement on January 16, the date it was signed, making it “National Day for Victims of Armed Conflict”.
While the government insists on discrediting the historic value of the peace pact and repeating the discourse that it was an agreement between leaderships, the opposition pointed to setbacks inherent in the current management of the executive branch in society and its similarities to the causes caused by the armed conflict.
Various Salvadorian sectors recall that the 1992 agreement created the new institutional framework for human rights, security, justice and electoral pluralism.
An article by Sandra de Barraza in La Prensa Gráfica newspaper recalled that what has been achieved in Mexico City “has historical significance for every citizen living inside or outside the country. The Pact signed at Chapultepec Castle is an intangible asset that has laid new foundations for our culture and for Salvadorian institutions,” he stressed.
Just as Surf City aspires to become a national asset in the world of tourism, so the January 16, 1992 treaties became an intangible asset of our culture and an example to the world of the need and feasibility of a sincere, respectful, deep and realistic to overcome country problems, he added.
According to the calls, parts of the Salvadorian population will therefore march today.
