nation by salvadoran president alfredo cristiani on the current situation in the country and the national recovery plan no date or place is given cristiani begins by saying that this is his first report to the nation after 50 days as president he notes that since he assumed power on 1 june the farabundo marti national liberation front has increased its level of violence and its number of indiscriminate killings he says that there is no reason for this since he expressed on 1 june his desire find a peaceful solution to the conflict in the country cristiani says that since 1 june he has repeatedly called for a peace dialogue adding in order to begin a dialogue of this nature it must be held in two phases naturally during the first phase both sides must sit down to discuss the mechanisms to develop that dialogue process a timetable for the talks and the place where the talks will be held in other words the first phase will be to determine how the dialogue process will take place the second phase once an agreement is reached on how the dialogue will be held is what will be discussed in that regard our government has not set any conditions we are willing to discuss any topic because we know that we must find solutions to many things and we are willing to do so the only condition we have demanded for this dialogue process is that once it begins it should not be interrupted for any reason we believe that people want peace as soon as possible and we cannot hold talks for years once we sit down to talk that dialogue should continue until an overall solution is found to the conflict that is our governments position and we maintain that position because we believe it is the most logical one turning to economic matters cristiani says that the country needs to solve three problems the fiscal deficit inflation and unemployment he says that as a first step to begin the national economic recovery is to reform the governments pricing policy adding we must protect lowincome groups and for this reason we have asked the economy minister to begin a process aimed at eliminating price controls we believe that we can eliminate price controls on 230 products without having a major impact on the majority of the public and that we can keep staple products under the control of the economy ministry he says that price controls on staples like basic grains powdered milk flour coffee sugar vegetable oil and lard cement for housing and oil byproducts will not be eliminated regarding the transportation sector cristiani says we agreed with the transportation sector to deregulate the differential service to allow them to continue serving lowincome segments of the population while charging current fares we will also allow them to offer the higherpriced service in other words people will be able to choose what kind of service they want to use whether they continue to use the lowpriced service or a better more comfortable and faster service on electricity rates cristiani says we feel that adjustments to electricity rates should be applied as a result of power that is wasted that is because it is power that is being consumed beyond what is needed to live normally the increase in electricity rates will be directly proportional to the consumption of energy in each home we believe that with this initial measure the cel lempa river hydroelectric executive commission solve problems turning to other economic measures cristiani says we have to take shortterm measures too in this respect the most logical step is to take measures that will affect consumption and not revenues thus we have asked the finance minister to take measures related to taxes he is to consolidate tax payments and only exempt the previously mentioned basic bread basket items from the present 5percent tax we have to start eliminating tax exemptions only exports should have some type of monetary incentive because our country is interested in developing its exports the rest of the countrys economic sectors should be taxed at the same rate cristiani adds we are going to modify the system of paying income tax we believe that the current system is based on unjust regulations on revenues earned the previous year that do not reflect a firms present situation thus we are going to request that incometax payments be based on a small percentage of the firms present sales these are a truer and more accurate reflection of a firms income cristiani says that the countrys monetary policy must be aimed at increasing savings to promote domestic economic development he says that it is necessary to make interest received on savings accounts in the countrys banks more attractive so that capital does not leave the country regarding the countrys currency cristiani says we feel that currency value should be based on the availability of and demand for foreign exchange we do not think it is appropriate for the government to arbitrarily devalue and fix an exchange rate on the salvadoran colon everything must be based on the foreign exchange our country may have to pay out for imports because if we were to fix the rate at 10 colones

expressed their support for a free chile and generously granted their solidarity to our cause our organizations and democratic parties became increasingly open to the world thus they expanded their horizons and contributed their experiences 2 during this period the party has substantially strengthened its international relations and enhanced its vision of the international situation it has strengthened its ties with the latin american peoples revolutionary and democratic cause and it has fully immersed itself in the great debates of world socialism to these debates we brought our views on a profoundly renewed leftist socialism committed to democracy development and social change 3 our relations with the parties that make up the international socialist si and with the si organization itself have been enriched within this context this strengthening of ties has been the result of two things first it is based on the position that in compliance with its principles the si has upheld regarding the chilean situation in october 1973 a few days after the coup si chairman willy brandt condemned the end of the chilean democracy and president allendes assassination at the un general assembly at the time he also said this was a great step backward for those who aspired to achieve socialism through democratic means since then the si has been permanently mobilized in favor of chile by making the chilean cause and salvador allende the symbols of all international struggle for democracy and change it is within this framework of interest and cooperation that the voice of chilean socialism has been heard and our ideas and proposals praised 4 the second reason stems from the process of expansion and transformation experienced by the si in the past 2 decades the overall process of change that took place in the world during this period the technological revolution the growing interdependence among nations expansion of communications global nuclear and military proliferation the emergence of developing countries as international counterparts the worsening of extreme poverty and international inequalities the progress of liberation struggles in the third world international awareness of the values of democracy and human rights has also effected major changes in the ideas and positions of socialist parties around the world in this framework the si has expanded its outlook has increasingly renewed its ideas and above all has accepted pluralism within its fold as well as a broad internal debate about the best way to promote the cause of an autonomous

16 years of dictatorship these demands are related to the struggle against repression the defense of human rights the denunciation of crimes committed by the regime and efforts to fight immunity and the suppression of the truth regarding torture disappearances and assassinations these questions have once again come into the spotlight now that many rightist candidates are demagogically attempting to pose as defenders of human rights and since el mercurio has reported that the dictator is planning to convert the cni national information center into an agency of the army so that the main repressive body from all these years can be under his direct control jaime inzunza leader of the united left and the communist party of chile discusses these topics over a direct phone line from santiago chile begin recording announcer how are the chilean peoples demands connected to the ongoing electoral campaign inzunza they are connected through the democratization of the neighborhood boards during the electoral process the strengthening of the unified actions of workers the development of the committees for victory which will also be committees for the defense of victory and committees for carrying on the democratic task the development of confidence the struggle for human rights particularly concerning truth and justice and immunity for crimes the increasing pressure by

dictators intention to maintain the cni as it is and to keep it under his direct command inzunza i believe that this issue is particularly serious the intention is to maintain intact the main terrorist apparatus of the dictatorship which has been responsible for the most flagrant violations of human rights throughout the years of its existence i understand that the dina national intelligence directorate replaced by cni and the cni have been in fact a single apparatus and therefore the main organs of state terrorrism over the past 15 years if transferred to the army the cni would continue to be under pinochets orders under whose orders has it been all these years for whom has it been a direct agent all these years henceforth it will be under the control of the office of

in concealing people who have been responsible for crimes and human rights violations begin recording inzunza the idea is to involve the military institution in crimes for which the chilean people knows it was not responsible this is clear what the democratic opposition forces want is to have the culprits behind those crimes and human rights violations prosecuted not the military institution the transfer of the cni to the army is an attempt to make the men in uniform act as accomplices or accessories to those crimes loyalty is not at stake here loyalty is defending values and principles not some sort of criminal complicity that is not in line with the training of these men this seems to me to be particularly serious because this transfer implies maintaining the cni under the orders

american presidents emergency meeting let us see first why the meeting took place the main reason is the very complicated predicament in which our offensive has placed cristiani and the high command as you will remember the government has met with much international disrepute and isolation because of the brutal assassination of jesuit priests and the bombing of the civilian population let us recall as a significant fact that the united nations has condemned the government because of all it has done especially because of the latest atrocities on that occasion el salvador was the only country that voted against that resolution while 96 countries voted in favor we mention this case as a most significant one but the fact is that there has been so much worldwide condemnation that the dictatorship has found itself in a really desperate situation this was a cause of concern for the north americans to whom could they turn at a time when all international organizations had turned their backs on cristiani the north americans had to resort to some forum that would not condemn the genocidal regime and that on the contrary would provide support in spite of all the atrocities the regime has committed the most suitable idea was to promote an emergency meeting of central american presidents because in central america as we all know the north americans have had their backyard and most of these countries serve their interests the meeting was called to try to pull cristiani out of international isolation under what conditions did summit take place we have to say first that the presidents of el salvador and costa rica and probably of guatemala had reached an agreement prior to the meeting the subject of the discussion was a document drafted by arias and cerezo this document expressed support for cristiani from the very beginning joseph sullivan a us state department official in charge of latin american affairs as well as other us state department officials were present at the meeting the costa rican ambassador to nicaragua a prous man who introduced the nicaraguan contras at the meeting was also present conspiring all the time the fmln was not even allowed to enter costa rica however in spite of the fact that the meeting had been fixed and in spite of the us presence the agreement to support cristiani was achieved almost at the price of killing the esquipulas agreement it was not easy the us will to condemn the fmln and to back cristiani prevailed in the midst of much bickering and the insolence of the honduran president as you can see it was not easy to find support for the genocidal regime even in places where the north americans think they have the bull by the horns let us see as a third point in what the declaration consists

those incidents the peace plan to which we are committed obliges us to restore confidence as soon as possible our most sacred commitment is to continue progressing on the path toward democratization it is imperative that your government and the nicaraguan contras resume negotiations to secure a permanent end to military actions in nicaragua this could very well be an encouraging example for many central american and other countries i offer you our costa rican territory for the resumption of such negotiations i also offer you all the assistance within my means to enable such negotiations to take place i understand that you will attend the upcoming inaugural ceremony in ecuador i believe it would be a sign of confidence in the future of peace a noble gesture toward rodrigo borja and would aid in strengthening the ecuadoran democratic process if you attended the ceremony in quito after reversing the setbacks incurred as a result of antidemocratic actions such as penalizing the communications media and depriving men and women of their liberty only if we have the strength to correct our mistakes and the vision to continue on the path outlined in the peace plan can central americans prevent the continuance of the armed aggression against our peoples a latin american commitment to peace also requires efforts to achieve independence and democracy we will not be granted

specific names to convince noriega that he had lost fdp support and that his regime was unsustainable to convince noriegas panamanian collaborators that he had lost fdp support and that his regime was

the fmln and the m19 that he had lost fdp support and that his regime was unsustainable and to move the antinoriega sector within the fdp to support specific actions against noriegas regime the fdp

within the fdp some civilians foreign governments that are noriegas allies foreign governments that are hostile to noriega and foreign revolutionary organizations that deal with noriega they identified all of noriegas vulnerabilities as well as the vulnerabilities of all the targets we have already mentioned there were certain themes used in these psychological operations and the media fell for them many times this is why we repeatedly asked them not to fall for this misinformation these themes included by imposing his arbitrary nature and corruption noriega is perverting the fdp and promoting the disintegration of that military institution the fdp have become a mafia that is heading toward disgrace this is a topic that has been discussed in leaflets and many publications by disrupting the constitutional order at his whim noriega is provoking a profound social economic and political crisis that is ruining the country this is done to hide those who are truly responsible for the crisis we are experiencing the longer noriega remains in power the more probable becomes a us cuban or soviet intervention the domestic and international conflicts provoked by noriega negatively affect the personal wellbeing of the fdp members and their families noriegas fall is inevitable and the fdp should not fall with him to save the fdp and the republic of panama the fdp must remove noriega from office this is why there were siren songs that an internal coup was under way the state security organizations have been following this case for 5 months and we know the fugitives are in the united states we know where they left from no one can deny the association of certain us citizens who are involved in this operation with the panamanian groups that were captured we have

they had marked the bridges that were to be destroyed gentlemen we know the power of weapons and we know how to use them we know the damage they can do therefore before there was a violent confrontation between the panamanian people and their fdp we went one step ahead of their plans if arrests were made it was because we wanted to avoid a confrontation with inexperienced groups that allowed themselves to be used for the personal benefit of those who received with a siren song the promise of the panamanian peoples 30 million that eric arturo delvalle was going to use for

place an oas meeting is scheduled to take place in this country in a few days the event is being threatened by a number of acts particularly terrorist acts in the san benito max diaz escalon and san

this entire panorama changed with the no vote victory and with it changed the policies and tools that buchis team will have to resort to until late 1989 and that are now much more dependent than before on the governments political objectives one option is to keep on doing more of the same to ignore the new context that has developed since 5 october to defuse the monetary time bomb and to apply a tight tourniquet to the economy to prevent renewed outbreaks of higher prices the inflation bogeyman is beginning to make his presence felt the consumer price index cpi is expected to be up 13 to 15 percent this month and explanations abound gerardo aceituno the head of the forecasting workshop of the labor economy program attributes the mounting inflationary pressures to the impact of the wage hike and higher international interest rates on domestic prices he recalls that the prices of farm products have been virtually frozen for a year and that this explains the huge gap between the wholesale price index which fell one percent during the past 12 months and the cpi which rose 12 percent during the same period the situation could not be sustained except if businessmen wanted to sacrifice their profit margins which have so far not been affected because the vat was cut juan villarzu in contrast places most of the blame for the inflationary pressures on the excessive quantity of money oddly enough however the uncertainty that developed after the victory of the no vote is presumably having an effect somewhat similar to the miniadjustment he reports that small and mediumsized businessmen are postponing their investment plans and thus their demand for credit has fallen off the dilemma facing them and other economic agents is whether to spend the money or to deposit it the central bank comes into play here because not having to compete with the banks it can begin soaking up some of the money in circulation without boosting interest rates too much moreover they are already quite high 5 percent for 90day operations as against 42 percent during the first half in addition it could resort to its sizable monetary reserves and burn up foreign exchange on higher imports to absorb some of the excess liquidity im thinking about devaluations of the peso somewhat similar to the ones this year options after the no victory in any event the large mass of money in circulation and the existing inflationary pressures whatever their cause constitute an explosive situation which according to villarzu the government will not ignore because if it has any political accomplishment left it is the victory over inflation and the tightening up will be even more severe if the finance minister insists on achieving a 5percent rise in the cpi in 1989 as the draft budget sent to the junta calls for even the central bank regards this goal as dangerous a highlevel central bank executive said that it is valid to aim for an inflation rate like that in the developed countries but we have to be careful because unemployment which would trigger a heavy concentration of spending remains high on the other side of the governments economic card are the already visible and strong pressures that the right has begun to apply so that the government will increase spending in 1989 or at least not reduce it the right also wants the government to take actions that are more populist in nature or that have less visible effects on voters significantly experts on buchis own team are the ones who are admitting that political demands can be given to some extent without ignoring certain principles gaining ground as a result are an increase in the minimum wage to pave the way for higher pay in private enterprise and further cuts in the vat the rumor of a cut to 12 percent was already making the rounds before the plebiscite and in the tax on capital but the privatization of enterprises is still strongly supported as well everything points in the same

that year according to some critics within the party the personalism that had characterized garcias undisputed leadership since 1982 was thus ended luis alva castro 46 former prime minister and economy minister as well as former president of the chamber of deputies was elected by a large margin as the new secretary general a post which regained the highest status in the party alva castro capitalized on the internal dissidence and on the partys disenchantment with alan garcia as a result of the deterioration of the social and economic situation which is considered the worst crisis in this century and is blamed on the chief of states stubbornness in not changing his nationalistic and populist policy line the new cadre elected at the 16th apra congress is in favor of a change in orientation in the partys management and in the public administration for the remaining 18 months of the apras term in office it is expected that alan garcia and alva castro may reach an agreement on the way the government should be run until 1990 when the current presidential term will end following new general elections garcia also lost the presidency of the political commission that sets the partys political line this post was won by luis alberto sanchez 88 first vice president of the nation and one of the mainsprings in the changeover operation within the apra the other elective

obvious signs that the party president post would be eliminated the apra had thought alan garcia would be a very capable heir to victor raul haya de la torre the partys founder and historical leader
