Following the capture of Sensuntepeque and San Francisco Gotera, the FUAR now has access to radio broadcasting towers. For the past year, Radio Venceremos, meaning “we will overcome” in Spanish, has been broadcasting across northeast El Salvador. Its daily program consists of an assortment of Salvadoran leftist songs, folk and peasant songs, music from the Cuban Revolution, and songs from the Spanish Civil War. Amidst the upbeat and inspiring music lay calls for support for the Salvadoran guerrillas against the Rivera dictatorship. Radio Venceremos is expected to help the FUAR receive support and recruits in the countryside from the peasants.

[M] I’d like this to give a yearly recruitment bonus for the FUAR and also lead to sabotage action outside of my explicit direction. I’ll make a weekly post referencing the Radio broadcast to facilitate this.
