Francisco Manzanares: Martyr of the FMLN by force
By Alexander C. Andrade On Jul 3, 2007 in Reviews
Interestingly enough this posteo Paolo Luers:
http://siguientepagina.blogspot.com/ ... ersal-don-paco-y-la.html
In that one year after the murder of parents of former news presenter for Radio Venceremos "Butterfly" and father of the "martyr" sounded more internationally FMLN: Paco Cutumay, Paolo Luers brings his story in first person who features in Mr. Manzanares life outside, as I do from the town of Suchitoto.
This posteo of Luers clearly illustrates how the left is hungry for martyrs for their cause, and also shows how the population is tired of this obsession to channel all in all things political, suffering badly from the Machiavellian megalomaniac president out, but which the same left-wing party is not exempt.
Almost 40 years ago the country was equally polarized as now, almost 40 years ago led to the conflict a civil war that lasted twelve years. After the war, people already forgotten the reason for the same, the same class politics has managed to help him forget the causes. Causes that are repeated now, and the same criminal minds continue to fuel the same problems and social exclusion at the time.
What is encouraging is that people seem more alert and more critical today than 40 years ago. If everything continues as is, you can see only a war of political parties fighting stupidly party colors. Would be annihilated in the process and finally we can see shining democracy in our country.

I know these people, nor have the slightest approach to environments that claim as victims of death squads revived. He did read in blogs and Colatino.
However, as you well point out, the article by Paolo-me not knowing anything about it sounds more plausible

Saludos JC.
Something I saw on other sites and groups of Salvadorans living abroad about Paco Cutumay and entries from over.
But what I've read on these sites is very different from what is achieved by the posteo glimpse of Luers. I am inclined to trust Luers, I am following your columns since I started writing in the lighthouse, and their stories since Carlos Bruch had that outburst at his bar, which brought him back to light.
I heard also from families of lower so that the Manzanares were divided by war, one of the saddest corners of this madness.
The most dramatic part of the story is when they mention that the trial run was dissolved in not wanting to be conducted or preceded by the opportunists of the front. I'm a leftist, but I think there are better ways of achieving an objective which the party tries. Many leftists of all hues we do daily in the blogs.
It would be logical that those who engage in diplomacy have better policy, but that is expect much in the Salvadoran politicians.

I do not consider myself a leftist, but I read in your posts and your kind reply inclined unmistakable: towards common sense.
How you say, I am inclined to believe a little more Lüers.

Is this post luers gift as he is seen things MARIPOSON some would say, for to say that the boy was staying Cutumay well and handle the war would say something meaningless, would sit and tell me if I say no, or grab duck this family as if they alone were in the war, is a lack of respect, that you should not say that if I'm not polka, but so are the forums, someone grab a duck and there you go and you got to your followers who say yes, but we all have a bit crazy, the thing would be to rest the crazy fucking dead and the living to those who are living in fools, but until it Cutumay already fed up and continue fucking, alos like old men, the butterfly's around carrying his cross holding their vergazos, other notes and emblozandose Llos fools ?????????? Chilin ... ..

We have to differentiate well between the FMLN and the Salvadoran left.
Of the Luers posteo for me is a vagary of someone disenchanted with the direction that I take the FMLN after the peace accords, and has taken the case east of Mariposa potatoes to prove something that everybody knows. He speaks of the tragedy of post war and focuses on the breakdown of the family.
But I tell myself that it seeks to demonstrate that Luers happens everywhere, in peace and war, and prosperity and poverty. Many families during the war were split? Brothers, fathers, sons, cousins, etc. in different camps.
How many brothers have been killed by disputes a legacy? I do not need a postguera for desquebraje family.
The martyrs of the left we see everyday on the streets and do not speak the FMLN, if not left in gral. We see them sniff glue, asking a few cents for lunch, flooding hospitals with diseases and viruses of all kinds. Every child who dies from an intestinal infection, every street child abandoned to their fate is a martyr to the left.
The fight started because there was not martyrs, the martyrs were giving on the way and provided the inspiration to keep fighting, but they are the Martyrs who determined a fight.
The murder of the popes of Mariposa is real, is there unresolved and the government has the obligation to esclareserlo, I would not be so sure to rule out death squads in this case.
In my view the Luers posteo no proof of anything, but rather, reveals the author's lack of tact, the subjectivist and publishing a family tragedy.
