New President in El Salvador.
Since the guerrilla signed up peace in The Castle of Moctezuma in 1992. El Salvador have had a right hand government, which have supported just the high class. But last Sunday people finally choose a left hand president: Mauricio Funes. He is a former neutral political analist and moderator. He is the best choice we have had in Salvador in years.
He always opposed to the change of currency and the use of salvadorean troops in Iraq's war. The change of colon for dollar affected deeply the economy and quality of life for poor people, because it rised the pricing of food and the cost of health services. It was almost impossible for worker families who were earning just minimum wage have a good quality of life.
Also was not fear when the goverment traded hundreds of soldier lives for work permission with Washingtong. The president left the families of these soldiers without (in more cases) the only men that provided support to their nest.
And what they did when a soldier was killed? They just gave to the families $1,000.
How cheap is a person's life for those capitalists who just think about the convienience of their interests.
Thanks God we had left behind those corrupt and selfcentered persons when choosing a new president: Mauricio Funes.
