mercwork-ga,
I uncovered the following information on Dr. Ruben Zamora, who was a
high ranking official of the FMLN ( Farabundo Marti National
Liberation Front), and connected with El Salvador in the 1980s
(although I found information on him related to Guatemala as well):
From [ http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-dc/2001-December/001823.html
]:
American University's Inter-Disciplinary Council on the Americas is
sponsoring a lecture by Ruben Zamora on Tuesday, December 11, [2001],
and,
You may recall that Dr. Zamora was a major figure during the El
Salvador civil war in the 1980s, as vice president of the FDR, the
political arm of the FMLN. In the 1990s he was quite important in the
process of reconciliation that has made El Salvador a model for other
countries. During this time he was Vice President of the National
Assembly, and was a presidential candidate in 1999. He is currently a
Guest Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for
Scholars.
Contact info is offered:
If you need further information please contact me or Joe Eldridge,
the University Chaplain, at 885-3336.
Thanks very much.

... Dr Ruben Zamora, leader of the largest opposition coalition, the
Democratic Convergence,
saw an electoral challenge to ARENA's dominance of the Assembly as the
...
Also from the same site:
The opposition coalition Farabundo Marti National Liberation
Front/Democratic Convergence (FMLN/CD), is now united, and the
presidential ticket of Dr Ruben Zamora and Dr Francisco Lima, has
begun to gain strength, so much so that the public opinion polls now
place us in second position.
