Today has made the presidential election in El Salvador and at the time of this writing, with little more than eighty percent of the minutes of vote counted, the FMLN has an advantage, small but enough to see a clear trend: The Front won!
Years of war, negotiations, martyrs and missing, a difficult transition to the end of the war, a violent peace, twenty years of ARENA, seem to usher in a new era. At last it appears that reconciliation is possible ... and that democracy is a bit more real ...
The uneasy calm that the Front is only expected inheritance of so many fears ... but it seems that hope is also possible for the Thumb.
With this result, El Salvador joins an increasingly strong current in Latin America to withdraw from the neoliberal orthodoxy that ruled for twenty years and that ARENA is representative and worn for many years in government.
However, to achieve the Front had to abandon its hard-line speech left with a candidate outside the guerrilla past, but friendly and socially engaged. The front comes with a moderate speech, foreign the revolutionary past, but even of large sections so often repressed.
These promotions of a new Latin American left, reinforce the reading of a failed development model neoconservative collapsed, excluding and segregating, but become a big challenge, building a model emerged from the Latin American, recognizing regional specificities and cultural rights, outside the dogmas that have come from all directions and so seldom worked.
Is it possible for America to find their own way?
