Democracy will be essential
For Ricardo Zúñiga, democracy and the State derecho are its fundamental pillars of what they call “favorable conditions” for salvadoran people related to prosperity and social mobility, and thus preventing or reducing irregular migration.
And one of the points in which most emphasis is placed in his conversation with Salvadoran periodicals is precisely the respect for freedom of the press.
The Casa Blanca manifesto demonstrated its preoccupation with the pressures that engendered the media and added that the periodicals were playing a critical role in the culture of democracy, as well as Washington’s interests. We also believe that the governing body uses the periodic reports of the Salvadoran media to establish its postures and analysis on El Salvador and its democracy.
