That this House congratulates television journalist Mauricio Funes on winning the Presidential Election in El Salvador as candidate for the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, a party of left-wing former guerrillas, whose victory brought to an end the conservative rule of the right-wing Arena regime, which had held power for two decades, following a civil war that had led to the deaths of some 75,000 El Salvadorians; and looks forward to President Funes reforming the economy and civil society in El Salvador, and to his putting in place a people's government to implement progressive social and economic policies such as those already being enjoyed under the progressive people's leadership of Presidents Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and Evo Morales in Bolivia.

This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
