Nohe Reyes on the Political Situation in El Salvador

Nohé Reyes, a great friend and man of many talents (the former presidente/mayor of Ciudad Romero, lawyer, musician and community organizer) met with us one night at the dormitory in Ciudad Romero to discuss his new role as assistant to the Diputado of Usulutan, Aristides Valencia of the FMLN party. He went on to discuss how El Salvador has changed since Mauricio Funes has become president, migration, trade and violence.

Thanks to the Monterey Institute Digital Media Commons, we were able to record the audio of this talk using a MicroTrack II audio recorder. Adele Negro, our program director and language faculty put our two interpreters Deborah Radilla and Hilda Diaz to work by having them consecutively interpret her opening and closing remarks. Fantastic stuff… Below is an unedited version of the entire talk. When time permits a cleaner edit with the most essential components of the discussion will be posted.
