After recent elections in El Salvador this past March, political violence is returning to the country. The elections passed control from conservatives to a leftist party, the FMLN, led by former guerrillas. Some violence took place around election day, but now journalists and community activists are reporting an increase in threats, intimidation and even murder and allege the attacks are coming from right-wing extremist groups. FSRN´s Ricardo Martínez has more from Cabañas, El Salvador.
