Latin Pulse: 4.08.2016

Latin Pulse

A controversial presidential race in Peru and seeking justice in El Salvador provide the themes this week on Latin Pulse. The program analyzes how protest marches and concerns raised by the Organization of American States (OAS) may impact the voting in Peru after several candidates were removed from the ballot. The program also traces moves toward justice in the massacre of Jesuit priests and religious workers in El Salvador; a case that began in 1989. The news segment of the program outlines the report known as the Panama Papers and how those revelations may affect politicians in Argentina and Mexico.
The program includes in-depth interviews with:

Cynthia McClintock of George Washington University; and
Geoff Thale of the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA).
Executive Producer: Rick Rockwell;
Technical Director: Jim Singer; and
Production Assistant: Brittney Madison.
