On June 1, Mauricio Funes and Salvador Sanchez Ceren were inaugurated as President and Vice President of El Salvador. CISPES was on hand for the historic occasion, at both the official inauguration and the popular celebration at the Cuscatlan Stadium. Que viva!
I had the great fortune, after 30 years, to be in El Salvador on election day, and to return to in June to celebrate a true Peoples Victory, with 60,000 of the happiest people I have had the good fortune to be in the company of. Saying it brought tears to my eyes would be a gross understatement. If you’re interested have a look at the Election 2009 site I have here: http://elsalvadorelections2009.org/
