There are only a few hours left until the end of this year. A year in which our people, deploying great sacrifices and efforts, have strengthened and consolidated both their democratic revolutionary forces and their instruments that are leading them to definitive victory.

On this occasion when our love for peace and true democracy is revived in our people. As a member of the political-military command of the northern zone of the Eastern Front, Francisco Sánchez and as the political leader of Radio Venceremos, I send a revolutionary and fraternal greeting to all the members of the National Revolutionary Movement, MNR, the Popular Social Christian Movement, MPSC, and the Independent Movement of Professionals and Technicians of El Salvador, MIPTES.

To all the members of the Revolutionary Mass Coordinator, CRM. To all the collaborators and sympathizers of the Revolutionary Democratic Front and the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front and to all our people in general.

This occasion is opportune for me to present before you a report about Radio Venceremos, official voice of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front, with the objective of locating why the role it has played in the advancement of the struggle of our people arises, what it means at the present time and about its place of transmission.

The Salvadoran people have been fighting for many years to end the repression, hunger, misery, oppression and backwardness to which the fascist high command of the Armed Forces, the oligarchy and North American imperialism have subjected them, to conquer their democratic freedoms and have their fundamental rights respected.

Freedoms and rights that we currently seek to achieve through a Government that is the result of the confluence of all the democratic and progressive forces that seek to build peace and reconstruction for El Salvador. Within this historical framework, the fight for freedom of expression of thought carried out by the democratic and progressive forces, sectors and the revolutionary forces of Salvadoran society has stood out.

We have reached a time when the dictatorship in our country ends freedom of expression, journalists are captured, disappeared and murdered. The town's chronicle is closed. The newspaper El Independiente is closed. The YSAX was stupidly dynamited. The voice of the voiceless, Monsignor Romero, is murdered. Even foreign journalists stationed in the country are persecuted, captured and even murdered.

It is in this context that the Salvadoran people, with sacrifice, enormous efforts and with their creativity, are creating their own media and methods of popular expression. Guided now on the basis of military political power, Radio Venceremos emerged on January 10 of this year, accompanying the general offensive launched by the people led by the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front.

Radio Venceremos is the result of long years of struggle by our people and their progressive and revolutionary democratic forces, which is why it is the genuine expression of popular power. Therefore, it is a people's radio. And disseminate all those ideas, thoughts and positions that truly seek peace, democracy and well-being for all Salvadorans. It therefore disseminates any approach that seeks to advance Salvadoran society towards progress.

Radio Venceremos, as an expression of popular power, has played and will continue to play an invaluable role in the advancement of the struggle that the entire people heroically wage to end half a century of military dictatorships.

Radio Venceremos, like the popular masses, displaying great sacrifices and efforts, creativity and initiative, has kept the brave and heroic Salvadoran people informed and educated. It has informed the other peoples of the world. He has fought the disinformation launched by Yankee imperialism and the Christian Democratic military dictatorship. He has been able to highlight the development of popular power and has guided the great popular masses in their struggle.

Under the current conditions of the development of our war, Radio Venceremos also largely fills the insufficiency of written propaganda of the democratic, progressive and revolutionary forces of our country. The existence of Radio Venceremos in the department of Morazán clearly expresses the inevitability of the triumph of the Salvadoran people and the indestructibility of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front.

The psychopath Colonel García has reported several times that he has destroyed Radio Venceremos and it has always been false. Radio Venceremos has always broadcast. The same thing just happened, they launched a genocidal operation that sought to destroy the radio station. We already knew about this operation and its intentions before, we made it known and we prepared to defeat it.

Thus, days before, Radio Venceremos reduced the transmission time to 15 and 20 minutes, we were getting ready to enter the war of movements. García, after we did not go on air, pompously claimed to have destroyed us and captured the personnel, thereby attempting to demoralize our brave people.

What has happened? Afterwards, Radio Venceremos continues broadcasting and with the same staff from the department of Morazán, whether Colonel García and the genocidal Christian Democrat military junta like it or not. Radio Venceremos broadcasts from the department of Morazán, not from Nicaragua as this man tries to make you believe.

This accusation is rather a way of evading the fact that the revolutionary forces have strengthened and consolidated a rearguard and power in El Salvador. Not being able to destroy it, trying to kill his dog in time, he declares that what is in Morazán is a repeater and that the transmitter is in Nicaragua and that he cannot go there.

The pain that Radio Venceremos causes him is so much that he becomes desperate and can no longer even lie. If Radio Venceremos were in Nicaragua there was no reason why it would stop broadcasting at the time of the fighting. On the contrary, we would have come out with better programs and greater technical quality given the conditions.

Also, consider that the voice of Nicaragua is heard in El Salvador and without having a repeater here, we could have done the same thing. That is to say, from a technical point of view this man cannot deceive anyone, nor can he from the point of view of the political principles of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front and the Revolutionary Democratic Front.

We as democratic revolutionaries have principles, we respect the territorial sovereignty of other peoples, we are not like the psychopath of García and the junta, without principles, who easily cross over to the territory of Honduras to fight against our forces, thus violating the sovereignty of that brother town. We are not like the Cuban worms who have calmly set up a radio station in North American territory, we have political principles.

In this sense, Radio Venceremos is a radio station within the Salvadoran territory in the department of Morazán. It is a radio station at war, otherwise it would not be Radio Veneremos. It is located in territories controlled by our forces. It is a valuable achievement of our people raised in arms. The truth of the matter is that they want to hide the fact that Radio Venceremos exists and that the army knows where it is and cannot destroy it. It is proof of how close victory is for the Salvadoran people.

Finally, I want to reiterate that we are today more than ever with the unwavering decision to continue with even greater effort fulfilling the tasks and missions entrusted by our general command and with the needs of the struggle of our people, thus breaking the fascist and imperialist information siege. , educating our people, guiding the great masses of people who are increasingly getting closer to the defeat of the Christian Democratic military dictatorship and informing the rest of the people of the world. Revolution or death, we will win.
