El Salvador President Under Fire
El Salvadoran President Antonio Saca is all dressed up with no place to go, suggested the Defense of the Constitution Forum that considers he has solved no problem since taking office.

Forum representative, Jose Maria Mendez, pointed out that the inflation of the economy recently presented by the president is proof.

A few days ago Saca said this year will be "historic" economically because there has been a boom in agriculture with an increase of exports and, above all, because "2006 broke the cycle of economic growth lows."

According to analysts, these figures do not correspond to reality, and the Salvadorian Association of Industrialists has even expressed doubt about a 4.2 percent growth as announced by the economic cabinet.

At the same time the economist and vice president of the Parliament, Roberto Lorenzana affirmed that the president adjusts his figures according to propaganda purposes.

Mendez considers that 2005 is a year full of social convulsions marked by an unstoppable wave of violence because of political inefficiencies of the government.

He went on to announce that the Forum will begin legal proceedings against him in February, including his taking advantage of the post for political campaign purposes and against the Anti-Terrorist Law because it violates constitutional and individual rights.
