Reborn American Giants

Early in the morning, Victor woke up when a dazzling sunlight hit his eyes. Because the villa was located on the top of Mount Fandino, the rising sunlight shone through the huge transparent glass skylight on the roof of the villa.

On the bed, Victor's whole body felt warm.

After getting up and washing up, Deverti had already gotten up and was busy preparing breakfast for Victor in the kitchen. Victor had also told her to arrange for other people to do these things, and she only needed to accept the service of others.

But she was categorically rejected by Develti. Devilti stayed by Victor's side for only one purpose. She was afraid that a new person would take her place beside Victor and become no longer important, and Victor was very important to her.

Naturally, he knew this idea very well. Since Develti refused and he was used to her service, he simply let her go.

Sitting at the large dining table, Victor casually picked up the stacked newspapers. He had been away for about a month, and he still didn't know what kind of major events had happened in San Salvador's officialdom.

Opening the "Journal of San Salvador", the headline is a campaign analysis of the general election by Jose Napoleon Duarte and Robert Dabzon.

A commentator invited by the newspaper analyzed: So far, this has been a normal election without any waves. Perhaps it is because the two parties have not yet reached the stage where the two parties show their bayonets to each other and see each other in action, but

Everyone is looking forward to it, hoping that there will be a candidate for the general election who can bring new vitality to this country...

"News Photo" declared: This campaign has no focus and is annoying.

And "Le Monde" was not to be outdone, saying that this election campaign was characterized by "exaggeration and illusion, like a strong wind blowing at night, and then disappearing without a trace."

"José and Robert?" the left-wing newspaper "People's Daily" commented: If they are the leaders of the people, then we are all blind and fools. The disdain in the words is beyond words.

This newspaper has always been famous for its unpretentious treatment of the right-wing Christian Democrats and the Nationalist Republican Alliance, and for being critical of the policies implemented by the government, thus attracting a group of people at the bottom who are very dissatisfied with the government.

These comments undoubtedly reveal a message, that is, the election campaign between the two parties is unfolding in an orderly manner. Now everyone is looking forward to the two parties quickly entering the stage of hand-to-hand combat and aggressive mutual attacks, which will make readers of major newspapers

I saw the true face of corruption among those politicians and realized the filthiness of politics.

The "Daily Diary", which is also owned by the media giant Bossano Bulnes, published a piece of the 1983 El Salvador government financial report that the National Assembly had just summarized and released.

Since José Napoleon Duarte carried out the reform, the National Assembly will release a series of reports at this time every year. They are completely transparent, without any cover-up or fraud. Such reports often involve politics, economics,

Education, culture, medical care and other major issues related to the national economy and people's livelihood, from which everyone can see the development of El Salvador over the past year.

Interestingly, the "Daily Journal" put the security situation in El Salvador on the front page. According to the report, a total of 224,785 security cases occurred in El Salvador last year, of which 145,564 were property theft cases.

There were 79,221 criminal cases, accounting for 64.8% of all cases, and 79,221 criminal cases, accounting for 35.2%. About 24,000 people died in murders. There were more than 2,600 strikes caused by labor disputes, resulting in nearly 1,400 deaths.

In the statistics of the past six months, the city with the most chaotic social security is undoubtedly San Salvador, the capital city. According to statistics on reports received by the police, in the past six months, 47% of the people in San Salvador have

Families were burglarized, and 7,400 people died in various major criminal cases.

Public security problems will inevitably lead to economic chaos. In the past ten months, during the economic reforms led by Jose, the Central Bank of El Salvador has successively adopted measures to increase the money supply in order to cope with the government's increasing expenditures. In an attempt to use this

The method of expanding government spending was used to increase employment levels, but due to the impact of the oil crisis, the results were not very effective. El Salvador's inflation rate was 440%. Compared with 1982, the inflation rate increased by about 110%.

The economic growth rate is -6.2%, and the country's overall foreign debt has exceeded the 18 billion US dollar mark, which is more than three times the national fiscal revenue. At the same time, due to the shrinkage of El Salvador's agricultural output caused by the civil war, bulk export commodities such as coffee and cotton have further declined.

decrease, the government’s fiscal revenue is only 6.478 billion US dollars, and the annual foreign debt alone is

Nearly 650 million U.S. dollars need to be paid in interest. What is even more unfortunate is that in June next year, 4 billion U.S. dollars of debt will be due and the principal needs to be paid. It is impossible for the government to come up with this money, so these data

Together, they indicate that the El Salvador government is facing the risk of debt default and will be teetering on the edge of government financial bankruptcy.

In addition, the gap between the rich and the poor in the country has further widened. The wealthy class, which accounts for 5% of the national population, controls 90% of the country's wealth. According to a report issued by the parliament, in 1983, there were 3.6 million poor people in the country.

people whose annual income is less than $1,100/

People account for 75% of the total national population, but their income only accounts for 0.9% of the national income. According to the current inflation rate, and taking into account the further decline in the exchange rate between the Colon and the US dollar, the daily income of these people

Only enough to buy two loaves of bread and a bottle of mineral water.

This is just like El Salvador, which is called the "Land of Volcanoes" because there are volcanoes all over the country. The situation of the entire country is like sitting on the crater of a volcano, and it just doesn't know when it will erupt.

In other words, it has already broken out. The Farabundo Martí Front led by Sanchez Cerén is very dissatisfied with the situation in the entire country. At the same time, the people in power have rejected the interest redistribution proposed by the Martí Front, and a serious outbreak has broken out in the entire country.

civil war.

If Victor had been asked to explain the reasons for this situation in the entire country when he first came to El Salvador, he would have put the unfair distribution of social wealth as the main reason.

But now, through learning and broadening his horizons, he no longer thinks so. Although he still does not agree with the so-called "born rich", he no longer believes that uneven distribution is the root of all problems.

.

If we summarize it comprehensively, Victor believes that the most fundamental reason for the rise in inflation and the gap between the rich and the poor is the import substitution industrialization economic development model that the El Salvadoran government clings to.

This is the most fundamental reason...
