Salvadorans fleeing
junta's repression
By TOM TROWBRIDGE
Ot tha EmaraM
The condition of the general
population of El Salvador is one
of misery, the Rev Jesus Nieto
told a small crowd at the First
Methodist Church on Friday
Nieto a citizen of El Salvador,
has been a Catholic priest for 13
years He recently worked in
Salvadoran refugee camps in
Honduras, aiding Salvadorans
who have fled their country
Nieto s speech was part of
World Food Day
Malnutrition is common
among the people of El
Salvador The average life
span of 50 years condemns
them to slow death through
hunger,” Nieto satd
Little sympathy comes from
the Salvadoran government,
said Nieto, who described the
electoral process there as a
"farce "
"The people have now been
convinced that they will never
gain relief from the present
condition of misery through the
electoral process," Nieto said
The people of El Salvador
have made several demands of
the government, including a
lowering of the high cost of liv
ing and an increase in workers'
salaries, he said
Salvadoran students have
demanded that the University be
more accessible to larger
numbers of people Currently,
the University is available only
to children of large, rich
families, Nieto said
"The only response to the
County residents turn to crime over hunger
The phone nngs nearly 1,000 times a
month at a local hunger referral office
One-third of the callers say they'll
starve one-third say they'll turn to
cnme to feed their families and one
third say they ll pray
The callers aren t natives of some
Third World country, they re residents
of Lane County
There are 20 000 to 30,000 people in
Lane County with an extreme need for
food according to Corrine Poorman of
the Lane County Clients Council
Poorman spoke on "Hunger in Lane
County" as pari of World Food Day
activities Friday
Some Lane County residents were
starving before federal budget cuts
were implemented this summer.
Poorman said Many of her clients
suffer from malnutrition along with
anxiety and depression All she can do
is encourage them to "just keep go
ing." she said
Nearly two-thirds of Lane County
welfare recipients are women and chil
dren, and two-thirds of all food stamp
recipients in the county are children
and senior citizens. Poorman said Cit
izens with incomes below the official
poverty level comprise nearly 90 per
cent of the food stamp recipients in
Lane County
Few college students, however,
receive welfare benefits, and less than
1 percent receive food stamps
Combatting hunger on the local level
entails understanding hunger issues
and changing lifestyles, said Poorman
But citizens cannot fight world
hunger merely by changing their
lifestyles, Poorman said. A citizen can
have a major impact on hunger by
working to change food production
systems, United States government
policies and food distribution methods
in other countries, she said
Locally, LCCC combats hunger by
offering referral services to food
oriented social agencies such as FISH,
Loaves and Fishes, and Gatherers and
Gleaners
people's demands is repres
sion,” he said
The Catholic Church is also a
target of repression, Nieto said.
Last year, Nieto's parish house
was shot at by soldiers Nieto
managed to escape and later
fled to Honduras
Many Salvadorans go north to
Honduras to flee the repression,
said Nieto, who estimated that
there are 40,000 Salvadoran
refugees in Honduras
The Honduran government,
like the Salvadoran govern
ment, shows little sympathy for
the refugees The majority of the
refugees are in campgrounds
from which they are not permit
ted to leave
"The conditions of life for the
refugees in Honduras are so
terrible that all efforts being
made to help them are insuf
ficient,” Nieto said
“If they’re going to die of re
pression in Honduras, they
might as well return to El
Salvador and die of repression
in their own country."
Nieto said Americans should
put pressure on the U S.
government to suspend military
and economic aid to the present
junta
“As the junta gains more and
more support from the out
side there is more murder,
genocide and misery for the
people. The junta is like a dead
body with artificial life."
