From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Enrique Alvarez Córdova (1930 - 1980) was a politician and statesman of El Salvador. After a frustrated attempt to be a Salvadoran "New Dealer," attempting to implement agrarian reform as El Salvador's minister of agriculture and cattle raising, Alvarez dramatically changed course and joined the Democratic Revolutionary Front (Frente Democrático Revolucionário or FDR).[1] Assassinated in 1980, Alvarez has been called "the first rich man who gave his life for the poor of El Salvador."[2]
