El Salvador History Government El Salvador is a democratic republic governed by a president and an 84-member unicameral Legislative Assembly. The president is elected by universal suffrage and serves for a 5-year term by absolute majority vote. A second round runoff is required in the event that no candidate receives more than 50% of the first round vote. Members of the assembly, also elected by universal suffrage, serve for 3-year terms. The country has an independent judiciary and Supreme Court. Roberto DAubuisson and other hard-line conservatives, including some members of the military, created the Nationalist Republican Alliance party (ARENA) in 1981. DAubuisson's electoral fortunes were diminished by credible reports that he was involved in organized political violence. ARENA almost won the election in 1984, with solid private sector and rural farmer support. By 1989, ARENA had attracted the support of business groups. Allegations of corruption by the ruling Christian Democratic party, poor relations with the private sector, and historically low prices for the nations main agricultural exports also contributed to ARENA victories in the 1988 legislative and 1989 presidential elections.

Comalapa Air Base, El Salvador Overview of US involvement in counter drug as well as humanitarian missions from the base. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/comalapa.htm
Extractions: EMAIL (required) Join the GlobalSecurity.org mailing list Enter Your Email Address Comalapa is the newest of the four counterdrug Forward Operating Locations (FOL). The withdrawal of US forces from Panama in 1999 led to the development of alternatives to support multi-national counter drug missions. The US Navy and Air Force developed the concept of the Forward Operating Location (FOL) to support deployed forces and aircraft conducting these operations, under the auspices of US Southern Command in Miami, Florida. The FOL provides deployed forces the infrastructure to conduct around the clock operations to include operational and maintenance support, communication capabilities, billeting, and other services as required. As of late 2000 there were four operational FOL sites, with P-3C Maritime Patrol Aircraft deployed to Naval Station Roosevelt Roads primarily utilizing the sites in Manta, Ecuador and Comalapa, El Salvador. FOLs are not bases, but staging airfields, owned and operated by the host nation as part of our collective efforts to stem the flow of illegal narcotics into the United States. Without these FOLs, the US would be unable to effectively carry out our detection and monitoring mission and would fall well short 50 percent of the historical coverage provided from Howard AFB. Coverage in the deep source zone, the area identified as "critical" in the Presidents National Drug Control Strategy, would be severely degraded.

El Salvador - Government And Politics El Salvador Table of Contents. SINCE THE REFORMIST COUP of 1979, El Salvador has experienced wrenching political turmoil as numerous actors, movements, and forces http://countrystudies.us/el-salvador/65.htm
Extractions: Government and Politics El Salvador Table of Contents Although the system established by the Constitution of 1983 was functional, some observers questioned its legitimacy because it excluded the Salvadoran left from the political process. As the 1989 presidential elections approached, however, these claims lost some of their validity in the face of the return to El Salvador of such opposition figures as Guillermo Manuel Ungo Revelo and Ruben Zamora Rivas, the establishment of the Social Democratic Party and the possibility, however dubious, of a settlement between the government and the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front-Revolutionary Democratic Front within the framework of the Central American Peace Agreement signed in Esquipulas, Guatemala, on August 7, 1987 (the so-called Arias Plan). Observers were reluctant to predict the odds of successful implemention of a genuine democratic system in El Salvador, a country with no real democratic tradition to draw on, where economic conditions were tenuous at best and where a destructive and divisive insurgent conflict wore on with no resolution in sight. It was clear, however, that the El Salvador of the late 1980s was different from the El Salvador of the 1970s and that further change was inevitable, even if the exact nature of that change remained uncertain.
