FMLN to Form Government in El Salvador
San Salvador - El Salvador
president-elect Mauricio Funes said the
left-wing Farabundo Marti Liberation Front (FMLN)
will have "a visible presence" in his
government after his June 1 presidential
inauguration.
Several political sectors in the country
have demanded that capable and honest people
should hold the highest posts, after
considering corruption was the worst sins
committed by the right-wing Nationalist
Republican Alliance (ARENA) which ruled El
Salvador for the past 20 years.
Mauricio Funes, who ran for the FMLF in last
March elections, told reporters he was not
yet ready to announce the names of his
cabinet members for his next five-year term.
Although some names have been leaked to the
press, the president-elect preferred not to
elaborate on the issue, but stressed "they
are right when they say (FMLN members) that
they must have a visible presence in the
government, and they will have it," he
stressed.
It will be like that, "not because they are
imposing it on me or because a quota has
been agreed upon," he noted when announcing
that some of his ministers are members of
the FMLN and others are not.
However, many things can happen during the
talks we are holding, all of them have
quality, credentials to be part of the
cabinet, but for different reasons they
might be included or not, he said in
allusion to some of the names released to
the press, such as Alex Segovia, Carlos
Caceres, Norma Guevara, Francisco Caceres
and Hector Dada Hirezi.
It is an express faculty of the president to
appoint and swear in the members of the
Executive, but Funes admitted that the
FMLN's request to have a visible presence in
the government "is logical". |
