Salvadoran peasants praise regime progress on reform effort
The Union Communal Salvadorena says Duarte's government shows positive attitudes toward land reform and has accepted some recommendations. The group, which represents over 100,000 peasants, had warned of dangers to the reform after reporting murders of more than 90 peasant leaders and up to 25,000 evictions. They address a four page Jan 25 letter to AFL CIO affiliate official William C Doherty Jr., noting promises to fix bureaucracy and brutality while remaining critical of security forces. The union supports elections in March and describes phases including turning haciendas into cooperatives and granting small plots to tenants and sharecroppers.
