At a press conference in front of Rosales Hospital, the FMLN general secretary described the first statements of the President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, as repulsive, after the armed attack on the militants of that party, which left two people dead and two wounded. .
After analyzing the “vomiting” of President Nayib Bukele’s first reactions to the attack that claimed the lives of two member activists last night, FMLN party general secretary Oscar Ortiz called on the Bukele government and the official party to “not generate hatred”.
“I read what the person who says he is president said in a tweet. It’s unfortunate what he said … It makes you want to vomit on the words of a guy named president. With these types of expressions he is an irresponsible guy. I can’t find the words to say to him when he sees the situation “, he declared in an improvised conference with journalists outside the Rosales hospital.
In an official statement, the FMLN considered that this attack “is the result of a hate campaign by the Presidential House and President Bukele” against the left party and its militancy.
Ortiz rejected a preliminary report that the attack was carried out by fights between fans of football drunks, which he considered a “distraction”. “No team deserves to be involved in this kind of thing, because it is a criminal, political act, an attack, a terrorist act, which must be investigated,” he stressed.
The left-wing leader said the party would decide what action to take and called on the international community to observe “the breakdown of the rule of law and democracy.”
“We have had acts of violence in the past, but not of this gravity. There is a deliberate campaign of hatred in the country and the construction of a campaign of hatred and unnecessary confrontations “, said Ortiz, clearly alluding to the discourse that the current regime has kept in power for a year and a half.
However, the left-wing leader warned that “violence is reaching us all,” as is the case with gang violence. “Political and social violence affects us all, so we must be responsible for preventing these things from happening.”
“You can’t want to burn a reed field if it’s inside,” he reflected.
“We are not intimidated or cowardly, but it does not mean that we will not report, that we will not make people feel how bad it happened,” he stressed. “It hurts to see our comrades dead … It was a savage attack, shooting the car in which children and adults were going. It has no name … it is an “wild” event unprecedented in recent times, “he concluded.
Ortiz refers to this tweet:
