Title: Duarte Campaigns In San Salvador
Date: 1983-12-19
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: Salvadoran politician and presidential candidate José Napoleón Duarte (1925 - 1990) speaks at a campaign rally in San Salvador, El Salvador, December 19, 1983. Duarte of the Partido Demócrata Cristiano, Christian Democratic Party, PDC, won the election after a run-off that ended on May 12, 1984. The PDC victory can be largely attributed to the more than $3 million in aid provided by the C.I.A. and the United States government to finance the elections in an effort to produce a moderate reformist government compliant with Washington’s interests.

Title: Duarte Campaigns In San Salvador
Date: 1983-12-19
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: Salvadoran politician and presidential candidate José Napoleón Duarte (1925 - 1990) speaks at a campaign rally in San Salvador, El Salvador, December 19, 1983. In the 1984 presidential elections the U.S. initially supported candidate Francisco Guerrero from the Partido de Concertación Nacional, National Coalition Party, PCN, who was considered acceptably moderate to both the private sector and the army. After Guerrero lost the primary election in March of 1984, Washington threw their support behind Duarte to blunt the appeal of far-right candidate Roberto D’Aubuisson and his party Alianza Republicana Nacionalista, National Republican Alliance, ARENA.
