Lefties Take El Salvador

And then move to the right just a bit. What's up with this phenomenon? The right never moves to the left when in power.
Almost as soon as Mauricio Funes won the presidency as the standard-bearer for the party of El Salvador’s former leftist guerrillas, he set about trying to reassure his opponents.

Although he has pledged to govern as a moderate, he will face pressure from inside his party to move to the left. His opponents on the right have promised to work with the new government, though they may push back against measures that pare back 20 years of conservative policies, whether on human rights or taxes.

Typical. That dirty scourge of human rights must be stopped. We can't have any of that. No, no!
