About 10,000 Salvadoran workers, peasants, students and war refugees marched through the capital of El Salvador to commemorate the 1980 assassination of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero. The marchers walked under the blazing sun to Metropolitan Cathedral, where the archbishop used to preach sermons defending the poor and denouncing death squad killings. The march was organized by the National Unity of Salvadoran Workers, El Salvador’s largest anti-government union, which the government of President Jose Napoleon Duarte accuses of being a front for the leftist Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front.
