"On February 2, 2014, El Salvadorans will vote in the first round of next year's presidential elections. Three primary candidates are vying to be the next president: Salvador Sánchez Cerén, representing the current ruling party of the FMLN; Norman Quijano, from ARENA and currently mayor of San Salvador; and Antonio Saca, former president and representing the Unidad coalition. With Sánchez Cerén and Quijano running neck-and-neck in polls - and Saca trailing - a March run-off is expected. What are the platforms of the leading candidates, and how will they address some of El Salvador's more pressing issues, from government corruption to reigniting the Salvadoran economy?"

The event was moderated by Carl Meacham, Director of the CSIS Americas Program.
