Observing the reforms realized in each country, it can be said, that only Nicaragua has been taken serious steps towards a real democracy. In Nicaragua two important legislative changes have been accomplished: the reform of the electoral legislation, and the establishment of a general law for the media and communication systems. Guatemala is very close to a military coup, and US has been put more pressure on Panama. In El Salvador the repression increases with the right wing ARENA in power. INDEX WORDS:

LANGUAGE: SPA ABSTRACT: This time there were no helicopters over the US embassy, no frenetic soldiers trying to leave. The event was not as dramatic as the leaving of the US in Saigon. But the results of the reunion of the five presidents in Tela in the first days of August, have the same historical taste and they also mean the losing of the game for the United States. The agreements of Tela have been named as the second act of independence, and this is true, many things must have been happen in the region before the countries have come to such a grade of mistrust against the United States like they are now.

LANGUAGE: SPA ABSTRACT: The sixth reunion of the Central American presidents in Montelimar, Nicaragua, was the final point on the peace plan of Oscar Arias. That the Nicaraguan contras would be demobilized effectively, would be the only concrete result of this reunion. Other themes, like the demilitarisation of the societies, or the democratization of the political systems in each state, are not to be found in the final text full with cortesies and political complements. From now on it can be said, that the round of Esquipulas is closed, and since now only "the club of inversionists" shall be united. INDEX WORDS:

LANGUAGE: SPA ABSTRACT: Jose Guillermo Ungo is known as an important figure of the traditional political life in El Salvador. In 1972 he candidated as the vice-president of Jose Napoleon Duarte, they won, but the Party of National Conciliation, PCN, which was in the power of the militaries, anulated the votes. In 1979 Ungo was a member of the Junta formed by civilian and military members, but this only lasted three months. Since then he is one of the founders and the actual president of the FDR, Democratic Revolutionary Front, and is working in the political diplomatic commission of the FMLN-FDR. In this interview Ungo views the possibilities to continue the dialogue process, which for the moment has been stopped, after the meeting in La Palma and Ayagulo. Ungo thinks that the actitud of the Latin American countries shall be important, as well as the role of the Socialist International and other international friends of the Salvadoran opposition.

LANGUAGE: SPA ABSTRACT: The debate among the crisis in Central America - the crisis of the imperialist domination - is going on in Latin America as a political subject, as an own voice who wants to determinate the destiny of the continent. The declaration of Carabelleda, the Contadora Group and the Support Group have been forming a strong basis to detain the traditional "canon policy" of the United States. The last moves towards democratization and opening in Central America show the necessity to open a certain independent space for the five countries, even if the United States keeps considering the region as its "backyard" or the "forth fromt".

LANGUAGE: SPA ABSTRACT: After being retarded for over eight months, nobody really believed that the promised national dialogue would still take place. The process started when the archbishop Rodolfo Quesada Toruno announced to the Commission of National Conciliation the necessity to call a national dialogue, where the government, the armed forces, the political parties, the private enterprises, the trade unions, the popular organizations, the universities and other representative organisms of the society would participate. The goal would be: to reach a broad compromise which guarantee the continuity of the process of democratic transition. INDEX WORDS:

LANGUAGE: SPA ABSTRACT: An interview with the director of the Guatemalan Center for investigation and promotion of the Human Rights - CIEPRODH. He estiomates the role of the Guatemalan military forces, claiming that they form the major obstacle for the advance of the national dialogue and the respect of the human rights in Guatemala. He gives some concrete cases of human rights violations committed by the governmental armed forces and security troups, demanding the investigation of the unresolved cases. Speaking about the possibilities of the national dialogue, he points out that the main opposition is to be found inside the Guatemalan army. He also thinks that the national conciliation is the only way to resolve the deepgoing crisis, that no political party alone can resolve it through separate programs. INDEX WORDS:

LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: Central America has been in turmoil for the past decade, mainly due to the succesful Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua and the high priority given by the Reagan Administration to reverse the revolutionary process. Even after the US Congress has provided the contra-revolutionaries with USD 273 million as well as unknown sum for covert action since 1981, the Sandinistas are still in power in Nicaragua. And in El Salvador the gerrilla is still on the offensive, despite heavy US military assistance. Honduras has been converted into a virtual US military base; while Costa Rica, long famous as the country with no military forces, has been drastically militarized during this perios. On the northern end of the subcontinent, Guatemala, with probably the best anti-guerrilla army in Latin America, manages with minor involvement from the United States. INDEX WORDS:
