On Friday, May 29, 2009, representatives of the Las Victorias, 15 de Marzo, Romero and La Cuchilla communities staged a demonstration at San Salvador’s historic Salvador del Mundo park to demand a respect for their rights in the face of repressive measures and the threat of displacement. The gathered communities also called on the incoming administration, of the Frente Farabundo Martí­ para la Liberación Nacional, to commit itself to the nation's poor communities and to make good on President-Elect Mauricio Funes' promise to take the preferential option for the poor as the central axis of his government.
