Description
A large crowd of people at a campaign rally for presidential candidate Mario Sandoval Alarcón of the National Liberation Movement (MLN) in Chiquimula. Many of the men in the crowd hold their hats in the air. The church is seen in the background. Many in the crowd are also holding red-white-and-blue flags. Carlos Castillo Armas founded the MLN in 1954 after a CIA-supported coup d'etat against democratically elected President Jacobo Árbenz.
