I hope you get angry. In issues of life and death, and peace and war, you cannot be less than passionate." Speaking later, Benavides, who still lives and works in El Salvador, says legitimate parties and candidates have been forced by the past and cur rent practices of the government to operate underground or externally. "You have to have 3,000 signatures to have a legal party," she says. "And addresses. It's like signing a death warrant." As a result, the government's policies have ex cluded a very broad range of parties, many of which formed into the coalition known as the FDR-FMLN. Benavides says she bristles when the media unequivocally identify the FDR-FMLN as leftist guerrillas. "The so-called Left, we call the opposition. You don't call your Democratic Party Left.' Our coalition is like the Democratic party." The elections Sunday excluded large segments of the population, Benavides says. In a country of about 3 million people, 800,000 are liv ing abroad as refugees, and one-fifth of the Salvadoran territory is under direct control of the FDR-FMLN, comprising 70 municipalities out of the country's 261. The opposition doesn't object to elections, she says. They look forward to a time when a negotiated settlement involving all constituencies but Roberto d'Aubisson's ARENA, the party of the death squads, would make real elections possible. Rather they object to the conditions under which these elections were held. "We are not against elections, but when our constitution has been suspended (in 1980). . .you cannot have real elections because the law of the country is the death squads." And a president cannot change those condi tions by himself, because a president of El Salvador has no real power, she says. Power resides in the military, the 14 families that com prise the oligarchy, and the U.S. government that supports both. Duarte, she says, can do nothing — and knows it. "We think he has sold out completely," she says. In the 1972 presidential election, Duarte won 75 to 80 percent of the vote, but was ruled the loser. He fled to Venezuela, where he remained for seven years in exile from a new coalition of op position groups that has since taken arms against the government. "And he came back thinking he is the leader of the masses," Ramirez says. "The man is very selfish," Benavides says. "And he is so eager — his dream is to be presi dent. And the only way he can do it is by selling out his birthright. He can talk all he wants about reforms but who is going to assure those reforms will go through? "Someone will have to deal with the death squads and military that has so much training and support from the United States. Who is going to make a difference? A president?" she asks in credulously. "The only thing he has on his side is that he thinks he has the support of the United States." The 14 families are openly for d'Aubisson and will wage open war on Duarte, though the U.S. wiil probably try to placate them, Benavides says. Even talk of reform enrages the oligrachy, other wise known as ANEP, the Association of Private Enterprise. "If Duarte wins they will stage boycotts and strikes — anything to discredit him and bring him down," she says. And Benavides says U.S. congressional sup porters of D'Aubisson aren't limited to Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., who recently called for the resignation of the U.S. ambassador to El Salvador, Thomas Pickering, because Pickering openly sup ports Duarte. "Helms is simply the outspoken one — Reagan might openly like to go with D'Aubisson." I I et al.
