Many of you already know it: Leftist party has won presidence past sunday in El Salvador. At long last there is a change after 20 years of ARENA government. People is very happy about it, because even when there were clear signs of fraud by right party (ARENA), as people double registered, strangers transported and provided with false national ID to vote[1], that was not enough to go over its competitor, the FMLN.
About results, it was suspicious that at 9:30 p.m. with 90% of records scrutinized the TSE didn't announce a winner yet, but people in the streets sure of victory, was preparing to celebrate after seeing the percentages at tv news. It was not until about 10:30 p.m. when ARENA accepted the results were not going to revert... 90% and they was in expectance
were they waiting a "magic" urn appears full of votes for ARENA?? It's a mistery 
... but in the end everything developed in "calm" and FMLN won the election.
Now by first time El Salvador chose a leftist government. It's the moment what many people has fighted for along all these years, a moment in wich there would be a chance to more equality, liberty, economical and social justice, with a fair govern who cares not only for riches' interestes but for the people who is living in poverty and who wants an oportunity to access to education in all levels, health services, worthy job and housing, fair wages, communities improvement, etc. Let's hope this new government brings a relief to the needing people, who is the most in our land, and what they never forget why they were fighting all these years, and where they came from. Government is due to people and people will judge them for its work.
Salvadoran folk demonstrated that they're tired of lies and suffering, tired of not being listened by government, and that hope is stronger than fear and threats.
The march is slow but we still march, and by pushing the sun we approach the dawn!
Hail to El Salvador!

[1]Frontier sites were the places which reported the most ARENA votes in this elections even when in Major elections it wasn't that way... The presence of strangers was detected by some JRV's (Juntas Receptoras de Votos what means something like Receiving-votes tables): A person was asked for National Hymn and he didn't know it, another one was asked for were did he live and he didn't know what to answer
