El
Salvador:
Funes
Offensive
to
Revive
Economy
SAN
SALVADOR
-
President
of El
Salvador,
Mauricio
Funes,
devoted
an
intense
week to
the
opening
of works
and
other
activities
to
promote
economic
recovery
plans in
the
country.
On
Monday,
Funes
stated
that his
Government
will
allocate
1,200
million
USD in
2011 to
public
investment
to
enable
revitalization
of the
economy.
He noted
that the
nation
is
experiencing
a deep
crisis
that has
left it
without
resources,
with
many
lost
jobs and
impoverishment.
He
regretted
that the
Government's
decision
has not
been
supported
by some
sectors
of
private
enterprise
that
favor
the
opposition.
Funes
said
that the
most
significant
change
in the
nation
is the
way of
governing.
The
government
is no
longer a
prisoner,
nor does
it
respond
to a
small
business
group in
the
country;
a small
group no
longer
determines
economic
policy,
he said.
Since
Thursday
night
the
center
of the
capital
lives in
tension
after
the
violent
evictions
of
informal
traders
ordered
by the
mayor,
Norman
Quijano,
from the
opposition
Nationalist
Republican
Alliance.
The
traders
tried to
defend
their
precarious
jobs,
but they
were
removed
from the
area
with
tear
gas,
rubber
bullets
and
heavy
equipment.
