EL SALVADOR: After nine years FMLN may lose the capital
Dissent and defections appear to have dashed the certainty that the Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN) would retain the mayoralty of the capital, San Salvador, which it has held uninterruptedly since 1997. The FMLN's loss, according to an opinion survey released last week, spells gains for the Alianza Republicana Nacionalista (Arena), which has been ruling El Salvador since 1989.
