After centuries of violent inequality and repression, a dozen years of armed struggle against a brutal, U.S.-backed military, and two decades of rule by the right-wing ARENA party, the Salvadoran people elected the first progressive president in their country´s history on March 15th, 2009. President Mauricio Funes of the FMLN took office on June 1, bringing El Salvador into a growing community of Latin American nations seeking to chart an independent economic and political course.
