“Ana Vilma Albanez de Escobar, the first female vice president of El Salvador, spoke about the past, present and future challenges of Central American countries and “how the actions of people in one side of the world impact those on another side” Tuesday in Salomon 101. Her lecture, titled “El Salvador: A Country of Opportunities,” was part of Latino History Month.
Escobar and President Elias Antonio Saca were elected in 2004 in an election boasting the highest voter turnout ever in Salvadoran history. Their party, ARENA, won 58.5 percent of the vote - 20 points more than the opposition.”
