For Grego Pineda (*)
In next March it is the time to choose. The Salvadoran people will declare himself and choose his new President, of whom they hope that it should have capacity, character, honesty and service vocation. Because El Salvador is needed by a president who serves!
After 20 continuous years of government in El Salvador, now the poor, which are the majority, can feel relieved because there are others that in addition to poor also are "extreme". How does a person live in the extreme poverty? Will he live? In 20 years the leaders of the parties of right have lied and stolen, as it has been read in the press means. And they have stolen extreme wealth!
The young people of now was born and grew with the promise of a better tomorrow, and this tomorrow for them it is today and they have not even had the opportunity that so much they need and that with so many vehemence they offer the same everlasting. Those who always assure that "the First El Salvador, the second El Salvador and third El Salvador", they are those who have sold the national goods and everything what one day belonged to the Salvadoran people. The people now understands it and feels defrauded.
Twenty years confirm that a thing is to speak and other one is to do. To be, as till now, between the most violent countries of the world it is something that we owe of being grateful for it in general to the leaders of the Executive, but especially to the one that many years has been at the head of the Civil National Police and who now is postulated for President. It was inept in his function like chief of the Police, because now and during his management the crime is serious and suffocating. Nevertheless, the companies of private alertness prospered very much. As official failed and as businessman triumphed. But at the cost of the Security of the public from crime!.

Every delinquent who was threatening the population was a guarantee that the business of private safety would be on the increase and there would be juicy profit. To do money in exchange for the terror and the desperation of the whole people is honest not even sample of capacity, of character nor of vocation of service.
On the other hand another candidate, Mauricio Funes, during the same 20 years in which they have plundered others and pauperizado to El Salvador, he has been denouncing, debating, analyzing and creating conscience in the average citizen. He has been a victim, like thousands of citizens, of the pressures and blackmails of the Power. But in 20 years it has been firm and conscious that there would come the day in which the whole Salvadoran people would join and would vote for a change opportunity. This change and hope that has been born from, for and for the same people. El Salvador needs that they save it: Not to the politics of continuity!
