Facing High Expectations
San Salvador - The next Salvadoran
government, which will take office on June
1st, will find a country in economic
deterioration, with it's main sources of
foreign currency decreased, reiterated the
local press Wednesday. However, the
expectations of those who expect
effectiveness in the incoming Executive's
first term are ever increasing.
Only in the area of exports, between January
and March 2009, has there registered a fall
of 8.3 percent marking a loss of 87 million
dollars in comparison with the first quarter
of 2008.
In the face of these challenges many social
sectors have offered ideas to the
President-elect Mauricio Funes, who has kept
his promise of dialoguing with the people
with the intention of creating a political
public.
The hopes, said the incoming leader, are to
lessen the impacts of the international
economic crisis, without harming any of the
social programs.
The names of future possible cabinet members
for Mauricio Funes are still unknown, which
has generated diverse speculation.
Something about which people do agree
however are in the call for appointments of
honest people who are willing to be under
the "surveillance of the people."
Soon after the electoral campaign,
specialized polls underlined the popular
rejection of corruption in different levels
of the State and the Government.
Representatives of social movements here
spoke of the higher moral authority of the
incoming government and the need to not
capitulate to the oligarchs or other local
or foreign powers. nm/tac/mjm/ms |
