Summary:The experts who spoke to IPS argued, however, that the FMLN seems to have squandered in peace-time the political capital and experience forged in the heat of civil war and in several countries that backed the rebel movement, like Nicaragua when it was governed by the leftist Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), Cuba, Vietnam and the former east European socialist bloc. "During its process of insertion into the country's institutional political life, the FMLN lost political capacity and creativity," said [Raymundo Calderon], who has published books on modern Salvadoran history. In addition, "its ideas and principles have faded," he told IPS. "It is difficult to achieve alternation in power without the FMLN, but it is impossible to conceive of it only with the FMLN," summed up [Hector Dada Hirezi]. 2007 NoticiasFinancieras - IPS - All rights reserved
