I’ve uploaded the photos from the victory celebration for FMLN candidate and president-elect Mauricio Funes. Tens of thousands of supporters gathered at Redondel Masferrer, a traffic circle in an upscale neighborhood in San Salvador once a Funes victory appeared inevitable. The atmosphere was euphoric, as last night’s decision marks the first time a candidate from El Salvador’s left-wing party has won the presidency.
