(garcia) the main subject was the decision to call a special congressional session on 22 and 23 december to consider the serious situation created by the u.s. invasion in panama. the second important subject was the decision to denounce the tiar, a military organization that groups all the latin american countries and the united states and which, on several occasions, has proved to be absolutely ineffective and partial. the malvinas islands situation is a good example. according to the tiar, the united states should have supported argentina, but it did exactly the contrary, supporting the united kingdom. now, in this case with panama, the tiar has not served any purpose. rather, it has served to mask the u.s. invasion of panama. therefore, since we consider the tiar to be ineffective and senseless, we, as a republic, must denounce it. we must withdraw our signature from the tiar. this must be done through congress, and that is why we have called a special session.

(garcia) i think that those must be sectors committed to the invasion. they must support a rightist concept by which the united states has the hegemonic right to safeguard our destiny and to decide who can govern us and who cannot. as peruvians and latin americans, we feel that the aggressive and bloody action by u.s. troops to occupy a small country is a violation. there are currently nearly 30,000 u.s. soldiers in panamanian territory. they have killed many people and they want to impose a new government. thus, as long as those troops remain there, as long as this violation to latin america is maintained, our ambassador will not stay in that country. this does not imply a break in relations; it represents a clear gesture of condemnation and dislike. as long as a u.s. soldier violates the republic of panama, we will keep our ambassador here. as long as the united states does not withdraw their troops and panama remains occupied, the panamanian and peruvian flags will remain together. (reporter) don't you think that this attitude could harm certain relations with the united states; that is, couldn't it jeopardize the imf loan? (garcia) not at all. these are two absolutely different things. the negotiations with the imf are one thing; the international political attitude of a government that abuses its economic and military power with other countries is something else. besides, we should mention something very important. as for panamanian-u.s. relations, the americans have been the main accomplices in depriving panama of democracy. when elections took place in 1984, when arnulfo arias should have won, the united states decided that it was not convenient that arias should win, so a large fraud -- as it was declared at the time -- was carried out to place nicolas ardito barletta in power. the first ones to recognize ardito were the americans. ardito was placed in the presidency by noriega. in 1985 noriega removed ardito and put eric arturo del valle in his place. the americans immediately recognized del valle as president. therefore, the united states has been noriega's accomplice in depriving panama of democracy. we denounced this. noriega is a creation of the united states. it has repeatedly been said that noriega worked with the united states and with the u.s. central intelligence agency, where president bush was once chief. therefore, now that the maid is answering back, making claims to the panama canal and wanting to become independent from the united states, the united states suddenly discovers that she is a drug trafficker and that she does not serve its interests, so they send 30,000 u.s. soldiers to panama. this is an abuse. it is a violation of the sovereignty of another state. no honorable latin american country should tolerate this invasion without actively and openly condemning it. one way to condemn it and express disapproval of it is to say that as long as the troops invading latin america remain, we do not need to maintain our ambassador there.

ones that exerted pressure so that the jesuits' murder case could be cleared-up. (begin recording) (d'aubuisson) it was not the institution (armed forces) that was involved in the problem. regrettably some of its members did it and now the entire armed forces are under pressure for political reasons. however, we must realize that it is thanks to the armed forces that we have this democratic process, with a hope that our country develops and recovers. it is very unfair that some people pass judgment or criticize without really knowing how hard it has been on all the officers, noncommissioned officers, and troops who have had to put up with these attacks in addition to the intense work they have had for the past few months.

protest to the soviet union for undermining peace in central america and \"failing to exercise its influence\" to stop cuba and nicaragua from delivering weapons to the guerrillas in el salvador. in

produced in latin america and that colombia, peru, and bolivia are to blame for producing the drugs; let's call those countries to talk with them. that seems to me a very ethnocentric vision; it looks at this matter from only one side. our peasants are poor people who produce whatever is most profitable, and coca cultivation happens to be most profitable for them. this is so, speaking coldly, honestly, and sincerely. as president of peru i have to point out that my people, the huallage region peasants, cannot be considered as criminals or as people who must be jailed for producing coca leaves. we have exchanged these views with president barco, and we reached these conclusions. we must also note that this matter has been handled with a great deal of publicity. after the death of carlos galan, a great colombian leader, the colombian government launched an offensive intended to find out whether the drug trafficking bands were responsible for his assassination, and the u.s. government then extended some assistance. this assistance has been present to the world as though the united states had sent an enormous quantity of aircraft, hundreds of helicopters, and thousands of millions of dollars to colombia. as i was able to see in bogota, only helicopters, some of which had been purchased earlier by the colombian government, were sent. i was also informed that some of those helicopters had been used previously in peru. i have said that, if there is that much conviction, i support president bush for defending u.s. society. if he has that much conviction, it is hard to believe that less than one thousandth of what is spent in arms and military expenditures should be allocated to replace coca plantations and to improve the general situation in latin america. we have talked with president barco, and i will talk with president paz zamora to see how we can exchange opinions. then, as president bush said, a meeting of presidents will be welcome. but the meeting should also be attended by europe, which has a fundamental interest in the future. (correspondent) would the idea be to hold a meeting in the near future of peru, colombia, and bolivia with president bush and a representative of the eec? (garcia) yes, because drug trafficking is a growing problem. cartels have sprouted in colombia -- monopolies that try to elect deputies and senators to influence the government. those monopolies might extend their operations to our countries if we do not stop this growing problem. the situation can become worse in bolivia, where it was said that the drug traffickers had an influence on a dictatorial military regime. it is not just a matter of protecting the morality of humanity; it is not just a matter of defending the united states, which has a primary role in world leadership; it is essentially a matter of defending our democracy -- the legitimacy and cleanliness of our social life. i hope that we can have a meeting of the three presidents first, so that we can let the u.s. president know our views on the overall problem. (correspondent) will you propose that meeting, mr president? (garcia) i don't want to assume a leading role. the idea emerged in a conversation with president barco, and i will talk later with president paz zamora. (correspondent) a meeting between you and president bush late this month has been mentioned. is this true, mr president? (garcia) no, i believe that has been mere speculation in the press. for the time being i have discarded the idea of making another trip abroad. i do not see the concrete possibility of meeting with president bush, although i hope we can meet sometime before 28 july 1990. (correspondent) changing the subject, mr president -- much has been said in recent days about the possible or probable expulsion of peru from the imf. what is the truth about this, and what would expulsion mean? (garcia) well, first, it is politically impossible for peru to be expelled from the imf. second, there is misinformation and alarmism regarding the matter. what is the imf? it is some sort of creditor bank created in 1946 that lends money to countries with balance-of-payments problems; that is, with problems with their foreign reserves levels. when a country has no reserves or only $100 million in reserves, it can apply for a credit from the imf to pay for imports or overdue debts. this is the imf, an organization created to facilitate the flow of international financial resources. an imf credit is dependent on signing a letter of intent or an adjustment program. adjustment means reducing the country's internal consumption so as to spare the country's reserves in order to meet debt obligations.

with machinegun fire and rockets just as president cristiani rejected the dialogue proposal made by the guerrillas on 22 november. four \"push and pull\" planes and two helicopter gunships opened fire on alleged farabundo marti national liberation front (fmln) columns in northern san salvador. \"their proposal is not serious, (the rebels) are once again saying that there are two armed forces. in el

chief of staff of the armed forces, said in a news conference that the fmln proposal \"is not very serious\" because \"it is not aimed at the government but at the army, which is part of the government,\" he said. according to cristiani, the new fmln proposal is \"propagandist\" and is only meant to gain some time in view of the \"military defeat suffered in the last few days.\" cristiani said that the government is willing to seek a rational solution to the military conflict in this country, but he categorically emphasized that this means that the guerrillas must lay down their

possibility of a u.s. armed operation against another nation of the american continent, despite the deterioration of its relations with other governments and provocations against the u.s. government. it was believed that the u.s. would confine its participation to supporting and sponsoring movements aimed at ousting governments or, as in the case of nicaragua, of supporting rebel forces to achieve the goals set by the white house. the events that occurred early this morning in panama have surprised the world because, despite general manuel antonio noriega's challenging attitude, no one thought the u.s. would invade panama. noriega was certain the u.s. government would not do so, and supposed that u.s. attitudes against him would consist of sponsoring rebellion, such as the recent 3-october attempt, when the u.s. government encouraged members of the panamanian defense forces to rebel against their commander in chief. noriega never thought the u.s. government would ever conduct a military operation against panama, although there were u.s. troops based on the canal zone. he continued under this impression because never before had these troops changed from their role of surveillance, not even when washington promoted the rebellion of some young officers of the panamanian forces. this excessive security distracted noriega and encouraged him to challenge the u.s. policies. noriega did not believe the u.s. threats and he adopted an omnipotent stance, like his recent decision to appoint himself the supreme leader of panama. noriega believed that the united states would continue to support subversion in his country, and that the u.s. decision to support the opposition currently in exile would produce movements against his regime, or that a commando might attempt to kidnap him. as a result of this belief, he increased the strength of the military forces and equipped many civilians who supported him with weapons to be ready to dismantle movements that tried to destabilize his government. as the clocks struck midnight in panama, the u.s. forces began an operation against the panamanian defense force barracks. the troops already based in panama, and those flown in from bases in california and in other cities near panama, started a massive attack to oust gen noriega. the invasion, which seemed possible to some and to others (words indistinct), were mainly conducted to punish someone who has been declared one of the most important latin american drug traffickers by the u.s. courts. early this morning, sources close to the white house announced that the operation was aimed at capturing noriega and taking him to the united states to be tried for the crimes attributed to him by the u.s. courts, at ensuring compliance with the treaties on the panama canal, and at restoring democracy in the country following the farcical may-l989 elections. these are the reasons for the u.s. armed intervention in panama, which is filling the world with trepidation due to the danger hovering over the continent and the fact that president bush's decision has gone beyond the logic of the u.s. policy toward latin america. international observers did, however, guess that something was about to occur when president bush said recently that while the u.s. government could reach agreement with nicaragua, with noriega it was impossible to reach any agreement, and that the united states had to do something about this veiled danger that threatened the american continent. today, panama has become a battlefield. the capital and other cities are battlefields on which the government forces are fighting the u.s. units in ground, air, and maritime operations that seek to oust manuel antonio noriega. the u.s. action is focussing the world's attention on washington's decision. many nations will protest and reject the u.s. invasion which was disguised by a series of peace-seeking actions. four days before christmas eve, the ghost of war is haunting our continent.

(ochoa) good morning. thanks, raul. these gentlemen seem to be speaking in the name of the entire armed forces. i know well what was discussed in the meeting. someone even said that the bright idea of discharging me was considered. they failed to take into account, however, that i am a deputy and that, as a deputy and a citizen, i am entitled to express what i feel, just as i have done. i, who owe everything to the armed forces, who fought beside the soldiers as monterrosa, carlitos, and very few others did, never got rich when in the armed forces, as some of the commanders did, although not all of them, of course. this undoubtedly has irritated them. i have simply expressed my viewpoint as a soldier concerned about the armed forces' situation. i never mentioned any names. i simply demanded justice because, even according to military theory, i cannot conceive that such an important decision could have been made by a single person. i still think this is a plot by some members of the institution, not by the armed forces as such. i only have respect and love for the armed forces. i am concerned over the delicate situation to which the institution could be led because of the actions of some nefarious members. i have deep respect for the officers in the field, who fight every day. of course, i must criticize those who have profited from the institution and who today have raised the roof, as if i were the one to blame and as if i were undermining the institutionality of the state. quite the opposite is true. my criticism is positive and intends to encourage a deeper investigation and exhaust all resources in this direction. i would like them to stop making ridiculous demands and to stop seeking a confrontation. it is known that what i am demanding is what is being felt and said. i am not accusing anyone in particular. i am only demanding justice. commanders' meetings should not be held to make such a statement. they should have instead shown their concern over the armed forces' situation. i would have been very interested in seeing them take the stand to continue the investigation to the last consequences. as the military man i am, i only assessed the situation. i never mentioned any names, but insisted that a deeper inquiry should be made to carry out justice, because otherwise it is the institution that will suffer. (reporter) col ochoa, after the \"sixty minutes\" program on cbs in the united states, it seems that in this capital and in the country your remarks and your interpretation of the jesuits' case were distorted. today there has been an attempt to accuse you. it has been said that the cut in u.s. aid to the salvadoran armed forces is the result of your remarks, rather than of the slowness in the investigation of the jeusit priests' case. do you think there has been ill intent in this, or that there has been an attempt to take advantage of you to try to justify an action? (ochoa) i think so. there has been an attempt to blame me, as if i could influence the decision-making of the u.s. congress. a reduction in military aid to el salvador has been under consideration for months because the expected results have not been obtained. i think it is ridiculous and childish to say that the aid will be cut as the result of my remarks. the truth is that all crimes with which some armed forces' members have jeopardized the institution should be punished. my understanding is that solidarity should exist in the context of operations and the fulfillment of the armed forces' constitutional mission. however, those who harm the institution should not be protected. i think some are trying to take advantage of the situation, as if to say: col ochoa has endangered the armed forces. what has endangered the institution is the murder of the jesuits and the san sebastian people. i canot agree with the perpetration of outrages. one thing is to fight fairly with the enemy. there are dead in every war. i said this very clearly when i was 4th infantry brigade commander in cabanas. i agreed with the penetration into the population to help them. i feel satisfied over my passage through the armed forces as a commander, because i identified myself both with my men and the civilian population. at no time did i take advantage of the institution to acquire illegal riches. to point these things out is not to attack the armed forces. quite the contrary, it is because i love it that i have criticized the negative members. the armed forces can thus be spared greater damage by the poor actions of some of its members.

that they stopped approximately 200 vehicles to meet and exchange views with the drivers. at the 14-km marker, a vehicle in which (roberto matis regalado's) bodyguards were riding arrived, but the

and murder peasants, workers, and students -- from taking it easy and relaxing at their clubs and in their exclusive neighborhoods. the attack on the national police station at the manuel jose arce

a proposal. i would also like to ask all peruvians, all organizations and institutions, to support this request which will be discussed in congress. by having terrorists tried by military courts we are not giving up any civilian prerogatives. we are not giving up any democratic rights. this has been done before in other democratic countries. furthermore, the armed forces are an essential component of peru's democratic system. they are also the ones that actually fight the battle against subversion. no one can say that setting up military courts is tantamount to militarizing the country because that would imply distrusting the armed forces, offending them and overlooking the fact that they are defending democracy. more than 2 years ago we asked for and were allowed to establish special courts to terrorist cases. so far these courts have yielded no positive results. thus, as president it is my duty to call for severe sentences, issued without delay or any theoretical or academic discussions. following my 28 july speech i ascertained that the vast majority of peruvians are in favor of drastic punishments and of the establishment of military courts. i have also heard some legal objections and theoretical arguments against this measure. those who do not want the military courts to try terrorists say that article 282 of the constitution does not allow it. this is half true. article 282 states: in cases of crimes committed while on duty, police and armed forces members are subject to the military jurisdiction and to the military code of justice which is not applicable to civilians except in the case described by article 235, which establishes the application of the death sentence in case of betrayal of the motherland during war. now, those who do not want military courts to try terrorists do not want to read the second part of article 282 which states: those who avoid compulsory military service are subject to the military code of justice. this paragraph is the one that legally and constitutionally allows us to try terrorists under the military jurisdiction, because terrorists also violate the compulsory military service law when they commit crimes. many peruvians wrongfully think that the compulsory military service only affects men on active service, like those peruvians who, after a selection are sent to serve in a military garrison for 1 or 2 years. this is only one of the ways in which one complies with the compulsory military service. the compulsory military service law states in article 2: the compulsory military service in an unavoidable duty of all peruvians who must participate in national defense by complying with their military obligations.

in utah), which, in recent years, has extended its activities in bolivia by building dozens of temples. both missionaries had lived in the vicinity of the general cemetery located in a densely populated la paz district. they were killed with two bursts of machinegun fire. a mormon church spokesman said that this was an attack against \"two innocent people\" and called on the police to solve the murder. he said that last year dynamite was placed at a temple in the same area but that the culprits were never identified. the bolivian government has condemned the attack and ordered an immediate investigation. deputy interior minister walter costas announced that the traffic and police departments will carry out dragnets in la paz. the killing of the u.s. missionaries has coincided

circles in the united states were stricken with euphoria and optimism. duarte promised a social pact, a tolerant regime, economic and social reforms, and, most important of all, he promised peace. all of these promises were only a means of achieving washington's great objective: to control the revolution in el salvador or, in other words, counterinsurgency. five years have passed since then. in reality 8 years have passed since el salvador became the place where the reagan era's models of counterinsurgency, neodictatorship, and low-intensity warfare were implemented. washington's euphoria and optimism have completely vanished. the 19 march elections sealed the collapse of the reagan administration's salvadoran strategy. two basic factors are at the root of the u.s. failure: first, the united states sought demagogic and politically unsound reforms. duarte did not in any way improve the masses' extreme poverty and isolation. second, the revolutionary, popular, and democratic forces' qualitative and quantitative progress was possible because the problems that led to the conflict are--today more than ever--still unresolved. the 19 march elections resulted in an arena victory, and arena is the party that represents the most ultraconservative oligarchic sectors. washington has returned to its starting point. the $3 billion spent on military advice and the genocide of tens of thousands of salvadorans served no purpose whatsoever. it is all over. arena represents a return to the system used prior to 15 october 1979. in other words, it is a return to dictatorial control of all political, economic, and military power. this is the end, the sad end of the low-intensity war exercise. u.s. general harry gordon summer, a member of the santa fe group, in his book on the mistakes the united states made in vietnam, said the united states' concept of victory after its defeat in vietnam can no longer be to achieve its enemy's unconditional surrender, as in world war ii, but to achieve the political objectives for which it started the war. this is precisely the concept of victory used in low-intensity warfare. arena's victory, and the subsequent return to the old system, is obviously contrary to the objective of low-intensity warfare. for washington, of course, this defeat means that $3 billion was squandered. for the salvadoran people and central americans, it means razed towns, devastated economies, and the death of 70,000 people. the new u.s. administration does not have a definite plan for el salvador. what it has is an uncomfortable ally, arena, and a social time bomb about to explode. the fmln believes the bush administration should study the new situation in el salvador and the entire world in a realistic and pragmatic manner. the war in el salvador continues and will continue as long as there is no change, no real change, to benefit the masses that are struggling for that change. this is our new reality, and if the new u.s.

about the existence of the arms in casolo's house, because on various occasions aguilar's chief, known as miriam, told her about it. other terrorists went to casolo's house to get weapons, ammunition,

am addressing you after our country has begun to overcome, with effort and tenacity, the first obstacles of a serious crisis, the future implications and repercussions of which we still do not know. i therefore wanted to convey a message of hope and encouragement to every chilean, to show them my feelings at this time of deep reflection. from the very moment i learned about this terrorist economic aggression, i ordered the creation of four ministerial commissions to tackle the problem. i also sent two ministers to the united states to meet with u.s. government officials. after tiring sessions of talks, these ministers managed to overcome a substantial part of the grape problem. the problem affecting other fruits remains to be solved. this new attack against the chilean nation, an attack that destiny has placed in the nation's path of freedom, progress, and well-being, compels us to close ranks behind the government, unified and ready to fight -- with courage and high spirit -- the problem that faces us. on this occasion the country has seen how the countless threats to boycott the national economy have worked. most of the time such threats have been promoted by certain politicians, labor leaders, or communist labor unions, both at home and abroad. they are the ones who -- driven by personal or ideological interest -- have continually jeopardized the stability of workers, of families, and of those whom they demagogically call their fellow countrymen. they do not care if they cause unemployment, poverty, and hunger to 500,000 fellow citizens who work in this agricultural activity. how shamelessly they make claims and demands, offering their support and their solidarity when chile is seriously threatened! yet when the danger is over, they change their attitude and again level charges against the government and criticize its actions. in doing that they fail to recall that from its very beginning the chilean nation has been built upon non-negotiable principles because they are the essence of the national soul. gentlemen: our will is based on our feeling of unity in the face of adversity, whether from the action of nature or from the action of treacherous, disturbed minds that recognize no moral values, fatherland, or law. chileans: a few days ago i reported on the steps forward in the institutionalization process and on the progress that our country has made in all fields. the fact that cyanide has been injected into two exported grapes has caused incalculable damage to the economy; it has also brought the shadow of anguish and uncertainty to thousands of homes of fellow countrymen whose jobs and, consequently, their legitimate right to a livelihood have been dramatically jeopardized. it is unfortunate that some officials of importing countries, without weighing the true effects of this type of measure, have restricted the import of chilean fruits, thus provoking fear and distrust on the international consumer market. gentlemen, we must reverse this situation. we should once again act in a united manner to recover international confidence and our undisputed leadership as exporters. i am sure that we will succeed with a new joint effort. (continued)", "output": {"json_structures": {}}, "schema": []} {"input": "dear radio audience: first of all, i want to thank you for allowing me to talk to you tonight about a very important issue for the future of our country. many times you have heard us mention the word solidarity. we have always used it as a word that means to think about those who suffer the most, those who have less. indeed, those are the people we must help, even with our own sacrifice, and many times with a huge sacrifice by all of us. if love is the bond that unites family members, solidarity should be the great pillar, the cement that unites salvadoran society, so that, united, we may fulfill our desire for peace, tranquility, happiness, and well-being. however, tonight allow me to give you two examples of what we consider should be the use of the word solidarity and what this word means in matters that are completely different from one another. a few weeks ago the government was forced, due to an increase in oil prices, to raise the price of oil byproducts such as gasoline, diesel, and all fuels. in the past, the government subsidized gasoline. perhaps the government did this to make people believe this would have nothing but positive effects. however, let us analyze for a while the issue of increases in the price of fuel. when a government has no money for subsidizing, that means the cost of living will go up. there is no doubt that prices will rise when a government spends more than what it has. however, let us see how this aspect, or rather the principle of solidarity, applies to the increase in fuel prices, especially the price of gasoline. ten percent of all families in our country own a vehicle. in general, that 10 percent are those who have the most; in other words, those who have the possibility of buying a car, a vehicle. if we subsidized gasoline, what we would be doing is taking money out of a government that, for the time being, does not have such funds available. in order to get such funds, the government would have to impose new taxes which would affect all salvadorans. therefore, let us think whether or not it is fair that 90 percent of all salvadoran families, who own no vehicles, must pay some kind of tax in order to benefit the other 10 percent who have the resources that allow them to buy a vehicle. we do not want to appear as demagogic or populist with this example. what we want to say is that those of us who own a vehicle, who are part of the 10 percent lucky enough to have something and thus can buy a vehicle, must be in solidarity with that 90 percent who have little and many times nothing. they have no vehicles, and therefore have no reason to suffer so the gasoline we buy becomes cheaper. moreover, to some extent the current price of gasoline makes it possible for the diesel supplied to urban and interurban bus companies to be bought at a price that will allow bus owners to maintain the current bus fares. this is solidarity, and even more than that. those of us who have something, who own a vehicle, pay something -- through the price of the gasoline we consume -- so that those who own nothing and must use the public transportation buses can do so with no price increase. the same should be the case for the cost of liquid gas and propane gas, so that the prices of food cooked with gas in the marketplaces are not increased. this is an example of how those of us who have something can show our solidarity with those who have little or nothing at all. i would now like to talk about an example of an even deeper kind of solidarity. i want to talk about peace. salvadoran brothers, this is the time when we must show our solidarity with those mothers who have lost their sons. we must show our solidarity with the innocent children who could kick a mine and end up without an arm or a leg. we must show our solidarity with those who, because of violence, cannot find a job. that is why this is the time for all of us to make an effort to achieve peace. last thursday i told you i felt more optimistic after meeting with the political parties and listening to their decision to accept the challenge to work for peace. they are determined to reach a consensus to fulfill the aspirations of all salvadorans. we are beginning to sense what the near future of el salvador could be. we are feeling happy and optimistic. however, i repeat, this is the time when we should all contribute to peace. anything that may lead to violence, whether it is street disturbances or bombs, should not be permitted, because it is no longer conceivable for mothers, children, and families to continue to suffer in our country. the time has come to show our solidarity, to search, not only through words but also through our examples and actions, for the peace that our country and salvadorans deserve. therefore, our solidarity should be the fundamental tool for our country's reconstruction. it should be the fundamental tool for the physical and spiritual reconstruction of all salvadorans. we want all salvadorans, without exception, to support the peace efforts, so that those who suffer so very much from violence will no longer suffer. this is a fundamental step forward for the freedom and democracy of the salvadoran people. salvadoran brothers, let us show our solidarity in this crucial time in our history, because we have always known that when all salvadorans act positively like brothers, we can come out ahead. this is all for tonight. thank you all very much and may god bless you.", "output":

perpetrated yesterday by terrorists on the drug cartel's payroll near itagui municipality. the blast from the explosion hit a truck full of policemen, who had earlier carried out an anti-mafia operation in a peasant village, as well as several public buses, houses, and businesses. a police expert said that the car bomb (containing 300 kg of dynamite) was activated by remote control as the elite force patrol passed by. according to gomez martinez, \"these actions will only cease when (president virgilio barco vargas') government puts aside so much prejudice and agrees to the peace talks,\" proposed by the subversives. \"the dialogue will take place sonner or later, and it is better to start now,\" insisted the mayor of medellin, a city where the world's most powerful cartel has its base of operations. the chief of the criminal gang, pablo escobar gaviria, ordered the assassination of medellin policemen in retaliation for the government's action against the drug traffickers. twenty-eight policemen have been killed in this city over the last two weeks. according to security organizations, yesterday's attack \"could be escobar gaviria's response to the arrest of adolfo mesa

from the mafia leader -- leftist presidential candidate bernardo jaramillo ossa, as well as a chief of police, a mayor, and several journalists. meanwhile, hundreds of soldiers, policemen, and detectives are carrying out large-scale operations in the colombian countryside and border areas on the suspicion that escobar gaviria plans to flee the country. last night, a television newscast showed photographs of the \"drug lord\" that had been \"recently\" taken by security organizations at a colombian beach on the pacific coast. a police department spokesman confirmed today that \"we have reliable information on his whereabouts,\" although he refrained from giving further details. unofficial sources said that escobar gaviria \"is somewhere in western antioquia department\" -- of

(moderator) maria cortina, notimex. (reporter) mr. president, in what way would a cut in military aid affect the peace process? (cristiani) we are currently seeing opposite signs from the fmln in terms of wanting to truly put an end to violence. a sign of this was the night of 1 may when the attacks were carried out. this would indicate that, although not all the fmln command, that is the five groups, some groups seem to resist a political solution and favor a military solution, as they have insisted on pursuing for 10 years. those groups could view a cut in military aid as a sign of weakening of the government and the armed forces, and that consequently they would have a better chance of being successful following the military path. that could increase the potential of a military solution in the minds of some. this could reduce the potential of seriously considering a political solution to the conflict. (moderator) raul monge, cadena radio centro. (reporter) mr. president, how do you view the guerrillas' morale at this moment? (cristiani) well, i obviously cannot but believe that the morale of the guerrillas after the offensive must have dropped considerbly. this is especially so since there was a large sacrifice on their part in the form of casualties and the fact that the offensive did not represent a success, despite their claim that it was only a show of force, which is a lot of malarkey. all the prior documents indicated that this was a large-scale operation to the hilt seeking to overthrow the government and to crown a military victory. what i believe was of even greater impact was that they realized that the people of el salvador do not support them and do not support the path of violence. in that sense, their hopes of a popular insurrection were shattered. on the contrary, the people did not support the fmln and instead turned their backs on them and showed that they do not support violence. this must have caused an impact on the fmln and its members. i recently read in a venezuelan newspaper statements by a commander, whose pseudonym is gustavo, who said that they were tired of following the path of violence and that a solution had to be found. this demonstrates that some of their ranks are getting tired of the military path. these are indications of what could be. what i want to clear up once and for all is that we do not react to whether or not the fmln feels strong or feels weak. we know that 100 terrorists in a country can cause destruction and death and that is what we are trying to avoid, although 100 terrorists are not a force that will destabilize a government. however, the damage that they cause is such that we do not want it to continue.

rebels, he offers \"a 12-month term for them to rejoin civilian life\" and the drafting of \"mechanisms\" for their disbanding, such as the \"national circumscription\" that will facilitate their

(passage omitted) (garcia) let me now say a few words about a different subject, the establishment of relations with north korea. i believe the opposition has raised a tempest in a teacup; it has raised an issue that is of no relevance to the peruvian people. first, we uphold the concept of universality of relations, of maintaining relations with all nations. colombian president virgilio barco established relations with north korea a few months ago; he did not have to face a savage opposition telling him that he was throwing himself into the arms of terrorism. nobody has complained to carlos andres perez or to salinas de gortari about maintaining relations with north korea. for that matter, nobody has objected in bolivia, austria, or sweden, because in those countries there is no reactionary right to argue that to recognize north korea is to court destruction. second, someone -- and i do not want to mention him by name -- has said that relations have been established with a terrorist state. this is a tremendous error, because 20,000 rifles sold to us by north korea at $90 apiece -- $10 less than anywhere in the world -- have made it possible to save and defend the lives of tens of thousands of civilian guards from the national police and have made it possible to eliminate and eradicate subversion in many parts of the country. third, international relations are not designed to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. if so we would have to break relations with australia or with finland. one must maintain relations with all the peoples of the world. under such criteria, since peru recognizes the frg, it should close its embassy in the communist gdr. this manichean criterion, this obtuse criterion, this outmoded criterion is no longer valid; the berlin wall has been razed. how can one say that this country should be recognized and another shouldn't? peru will not accept any imperialist veto on its world relations. we have had enough of the 1960's and 1970's when passports said we could not travel to the soviet union or cuba. peruvians have the right to travel wherever they wish, like they wish, and when they wish. this is freedom, and it cannot be curtailed by the establishment of off-limits areas around the globe. finally, several of the gentlemen who now oppose the establishment of relations with north korea have been honored, illustrious guests of the north korean government. the other day i heard some people speaking vehemently on this topic, while some other people nearby had been honored guests there. journalists can seek out and determine how many of those who now oppose these relations have been honored guests in north korea for weeks. now, for political reasons, they are opposed to the establishment of relations with north korea.

rights\" in western nations have kept quiet out of fear of the naked aggression and the way of the tyrant. on 20 december 1989, several tens of thousands of u.s. troops, equipped with the most up-to-date weapons, brazenly intruded into panama, toppling the noriega government and forcing manuel antonio noriega to be tried in the united states. this u.s. act was by no means less than the soviet act of invading czechoslovakia and kidnapping its leaders at that time. the new panamanian government estimated that the u.s. invasion had resulted in the deaths of at least 600 panamanian soldiers and civilians and made several tens of thousands of people homeless. more than 5,000 military and administrative personnel of the former government were arrested by u.s. troops, and panama suffered economic losses of $10 billion. the united states openly manipulated the work of establishing a new panamanian government, national defense army, police force, and other state apparatuses, so much so that it rushed in and raided (as published) the embassies of other countries in panama or diplomatic apartments, and detained the diplomatic officials of other countries. under the powerful pressure of world opinion, some of the u.s. troops have withdrawn from panama, but the u.s. government still refuses to pull out all its troops. just after its intrusion into panama, the u.s. government immediately announced, as scheduled, the dispatch of a strong fleet of warships into the caribbean, close to the coast of colombia, for what was called an antidrug maneuver, intercepting planes and vessels for trafficking in drugs. on 5 january this year, the united states, ignoring the strong opposition of latin american nations, ordered a fleet of four warships, including the aircraft carrier \"kennedy\" and nuclear-propelled cruiser \"virginia,\" to sail toward the caribbean to \"combat drug smuggling.\" such a high-handed way of ignoring the sovereignty and will of latin american nations and forcing the deployment of troops in front of the gates of other countries evoked fierce reactions in colombia and other latin american nations. jaramillo ossa, a presidential candidate from the colombian patriotic union, noted that the united states \"very nearly\" invaded colombia. the colombian government also warned the u.s. government: without the authorization of the government of president barco, no u.s warships are allowed to draw near (as published) the waters of colombia. it also ordered its naval and air forces to intensify their sea patrols to safeguard the country's sovereignty. at the same time, the governments of colombia, venezuela, and some other nations refused to join the proposed u.s. \"drug-fighting drill\" in the caribbean. faced with such a situation, the bush administration had to order the \"drug-fighting fleet\" to return to base and cancel the \"drill.\" on the aforementioned acts of the united states, leaders of some latin american nations commented: while relaxing the tension with the soviet union, the united states has reserved the \"right\" to interfere by force in latin america and other small and weak countries. the public media of some nations solemnly pointed out: such moves of u.s. aggression are the continuation of the consistent u.s. policy of interfering in the affairs of latin america and also the extension of what is called the reagan doctrine, which started in the early 1980's. in u.s. relations with latin america throughout the decade of the 1980's, there was a problem affecting the situation as a whole, namely, the issue of central america, which had all along been listed in the category of east-west confrontation by the united states. the reagan administration even gave top priority to meeting the crisis in central america in its foreign policy. in 1981, when reagan entered the white house, the situation in central america stood as follows: the sandinista revolution had won victory in nicaragua, the guerrilla war in el salvador was escalating, and a turbulent situation had started to emerge in other central american countries. the human rights diplomacy pursued by the carter administration resulted in the deterioration of u.s. relations with a certain number of latin american nations ruled by juntas. in 1977 the carter administration signed the panama canal treaty with the panamanian government, agreeing to return to panama sovereignty over the canal and the canal zone. before the victory of the nicaragua revolution, in 1979 the carter administration abandoned its
