He said that while a democratic system has been established in the country that has left decades of “authoritarian” regimes behind, democracy is “tender” and is now subject to the threat of “populist” voices trying to “instrumentalize” it. and undermine the fact. that the agreement to end a war that left mourning and thousands dead was a priority.
“Anyone who believes the peace accords were irrelevant to El Salvador is crazy, he should change what he said again: from madness to hope, it would be from hope to madness,” Ortiz repeated.

According to the Ephemelenista leader, El Salvador is on a route to “want to reinstall a repressive regime, where they want to play with fear again, with media terror, where they want to instrumentalize the word democracy and turn it into populism. The country cannot return to those dark times, it cannot return to those times of fear, of terror, where you had to leave the country to think otherwise. Where only by not sharing the views and ideas of the dominant groups you ended up in prison or were murdered ”.
Ortiz also reported that they will launch their new electoral political platform on Jan. 16 before the Feb. 28 elections to elect deputies and mayors, where new bets led by young candidates and other experts in public management prevail.
“We will transfer the new obligations of our party, the new alliances, the new form and especially the new priorities that we offer as a party,” he said.
He recalled that the free choice of future political representatives must be protected and not ‘promote the cult of a personality, these are models from the past, they are not models of democracy, in the personality cult, society and the family always lose. Ortiz stated.
In this regard, Ortiz said that a political party is using public funds, which he considered a “possible fraud” at the political and legal level by not turning the government over to the mayors by the Fodes and not paying off the political debt. to parties in position.
