FMLN Nominates 2009
Ticket
The major Salvadoran
opposition party, FMLN (Farabundo
Marti National
Liberation Front),
confirmed its
presidential formula for
elections in 2009.
Mauricio Funes, a
journalist by
profession, will
represent the FMLN for
president, with the
group's historic leader
Salvador Sanchez Ceren
as his partner.
In an official note the
FMLN explains the
decision was made
following consultation
with the people, social
sectors and party
members.
FMLN leaders have
highlighted the
candidates' values,
including their honesty,
human sensitivity and
capacity to assume the
post, as well as the
popular support they
enjoy.
Funes is currently a TV
Channel 15 talk show
host described by many
Salvadorians as a social
communicator committed
to truth, social justice
and civil rights.
