acts as a backdrop with the triumph of the leftist Mauricio Funes, who recalled that the prophetic message of the Archbishop will be the path of their actions
Hundreds of parishioners commemorated the twentieth ninth anniversary of the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero with masses in the capital and in most churches around the country. Salvadorans commemorate the twenty-ninth anniversary of the assassination of Oscar Arnulfo Romero in the hope that the new leftist government, which assumed on June 1, meets his legacy to the poor. Under the coordination of the foundation named after the late Archbishop, acts as a backdrop have victory in the elections on March 15 of journalist Mauricio Funes, the Frente Farabundo Marti para la Liberacion Nacional, FMLN, left.
"The commemoration of the martyrdom of Archbishop Romero this year has a special sign of hope. We hope that the new president, Funes, help the poor," said Foundation President Romero, Monsignor Ricardo Urioste. The president proclaimed, Funes stated that "the prophetic message" of the murdered archbishop, to whom the church should have a preferential option for the poor, "is the path of my actions."
Monsignor Urioste recognizes that helping the poor in El Salvador will become a challenge for the "many problems", but believes that "creativity" can make a difference. El Salvador, with little 20,742 square kilometers and 5.8 million inhabitants, has a poverty of 35% according to data from United Nations Program for Development, UNDP.
"stop the repression" were his last words
Beyond fighting for the needy, the president of the Foundation expects Funes Romero admitted "responsibility" of the state for failing to investigate a murder that shocked the community international. Advocate of a church with an option for the poor and denounce social injustice and the current military repression in El Salvador, Romero was assassinated on March 24, 1980 by a sniper hired by the right wing, who shot him when celebrating mass in the cancer hospital of Divine Providence , northwest of San Salvador.
"In the name of God, for and on behalf of these suffering people whose cries rise to heaven each day more tumultuous, I beg, I beg you, I order you in the name of God: stop the repression" were Romero last words he addressed members of the security forces and soldiers.
A truth commission set up by the UN in 1993, blamed for masterminding the murder of Romero to the Army Maj. Roberto D'Aubuisson.
