Salvador in Transition

Baloyra's Perspective on the Salvadoran Conflict

Baloyra argues that the deepening American involvement in what is basically a domestic conflict between Salvadorans has failed to eliminate the obstructionism and violence of the disloyal right. He holds that neutralizing this group is the key to resolving the crisis and that a reconciliation of the Christian Democrats with the democratic elements of the opposing Democratic Revolutionary Front is necessary. He sees the March 1982 election as the repudiation, by the majority of Salvadorans, of a continuation of the violence.
