Politics Pictures

As stated before, politics in El Salvador are everywhere. Thankfully, it makes finding pictures to fit my theme pretty easy. Per Michelle's request, here are just a few of the photos of politics from around San Salvador:
This is a demonstration in El Salvador Del Mundo, right down the street from our hotel. The CD party, Cambio Democratica (Democratic Change), took to the public square in yellow and blue.

Down the street from El Salvador Del Mundo, ARENA demonstrators took over an intersection to express their support of the party.

After we participated in the anti-domestic violence march, this young guy was willing to show off his FMLN shirt in support of Mauricio Funes, the candidate for president.



The FDR party, a more centrist organization, took over this intersection during rush hour. A few demostrators decided to catch people's attention from up top.

This is a light pole in a local neighborhood, painted in FMLN colors and the party star.


This is a once-painted ARENA lightpole where somebody posted a scull with the Spanish word for "robbers" over the party colors.

These compose only a fraction of the political signage we have seen across the city and the country. And the elections don't begin until January!
