The attackers took the environmentalists and reporters to a nearby farm where they were beaten, robbed of their video camera, laptops, cash, and mobile phones, and then abandoned.

Government officials had triumphantly released statistics reflecting a reduction of chronic poverty in this Central American country. However, both local residents and outside observers claim that the statistics don't reflect the actual plight of Salvadoran residents. "It's pretty tough. Sometimes we only eat once a day, and that's when I've found work," said Juan Villanueva, who lives in a slum neighborhood on the outskirts of San Salvador. He spoke as part of a United Nations Development Program presentation about poverty reduction in his country. Read all of this article with a FREE trial Find articles, research, and archives

The president is elected by universal suffrage by absolute majority vote and serves for a 5-year term. A second round runoff is required in the event that no candidate receives more than 50% of the first round vote.

Political Landscape Despite these constraints, ARENA made a strong showing in the March 2004 presidential election, which was marked by an unprecedented 67% voter turnout. ARENA candidate Elias Antonio "Tony" Saca handily defeated the FMLN candidate and party head Shafik Handal, garnering 57.7% of the votes cast. The defeat of the FMLN’s presidential candidate rekindled an internal FMLN struggle between hardliners and more moderate members who saw the party’s 2004 defeat as a call for reform.

ARENA's legislative position was weakened in the 1997 elections, but it recovered its strength, helped by divisions in the opposition, in time for another victory in the 1999 presidential race, bringing President Francisco Guillermo Flores Perez to office. Flores concentrated on modernizing the economy and strengthening bilateral relations with the United States. Under his presidency El Salvador committed itself to combating international terrorism, including sending troops to aid in the reconstruction of Iraq.
