Annotations for Topic: Political Context

While the dictatorship talks of elections, our country talks about the reality of death and repression that El Salvador lives.

As I said, we were lied to. They told us that the soldiers brought foreign journalists and that they couldn’t kill defenseless women and children in front of journalists. I speak of Capitan Medina Garay, yes, him. He made them get close when he came here.

Carlos Ibrian Resinos, worked as the Secretary of Finances, and Jose Alirio Martinez Martinez as the General Secretary of the union. We strongly condemn and repudiate the dictatorship’s new attempt against the Salvadoran working class. At the same time, we join in solidarity with our comrades of the sweets and pasta industry union against this regime’s abuses, and we encourage them to continue forward in the struggle for their revindications and for a revolutionary and democratic government.
