died just because they dared to be somebody. 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."
