FMLN candidate ahead in El Salvador

March

I plan to follow up tomorrow on the presidential election in El Salvador, where the leftist FMLN party might win the presidency for the first time and defeat the ruling ARENA party. With returns from most polling stations, FMLN’s Mauricio Funes is ahead of ARENA’s Rodrigo Avila tonight, Reuters and AP report. From Hempstead to Port Chester to Piermont, these results will be closely watched in the Salvadoran immigrant community. Here are some photos from El Salvador.
