unity, the one that should be built from the
integration of the cabinet as a clear sign
of agreement and understanding.
"The change that El Salvador needs should
not be interpreted as a jump to the hole and
less as a rupture with the economic system,

property and in the defense of the free
competition," he said.
Of the national managers he said he expected

them to the social area, the amplification

escape, the evasion of funds, the smuggling
and corruption, he sustained and ratified
