Reborn American Giants

If it were just the Observer newspaper, José Napoleon Duarte, the new President of El Salvador, would not be so angry. The problem is that basically all El Salvador’s paper platforms, news channels, and radio stations are having heated discussions.

This news.

As Amfilo said, "Now that the honeymoon period is over, we can no longer expect these media to continue to treat them the same way they did before."

The president's political secretary, Mendieta, sat with the press secretary at the Independence Palace earlier this morning.

The press secretary across the street pushed the newspaper in front of him for the third time this morning, and he pushed the newspaper back for the third time.

Now, he finally felt the uneasiness of those people who were outside Jose's office and brought him bad news.

“Oh my God, Mendieta,” the press secretary shouted, loudly, “there’s no way we’re going to hide every copy of El Observer in San Salvador, he’s

He will definitely see it. Since he has to know this news from other places sooner or later, you might as well show it to him. Right now..."

"Why today? Why does it have to be me?" the political secretary muttered, stroking his hair that looked a little greasy after staying up all night. "The president is preparing his speech to the National Assembly tomorrow. We stayed up all night to prepare for him tomorrow.

speech draft.

What are we doing now? At the National Assembly Palace tomorrow, those idle members will definitely ask this question. Do we need to rewrite all the speeches? Where do we have this time? He will definitely be furious.

."

With a hint of weak frustration and frustration, Mendieta closed the briefcase heavily, "In the past few weeks, because of the general election, everyone has been under enough pressure. Finally, the general election is over, and we have won. Before everyone can

Take a breather, something like this happened again, there really isn’t a moment of peace, is there?”

The spokesman's choice was to remain silent. He turned his head and pretended to appreciate the scenery outside the window. Although the scenery outside was the same, he pretended to find a new bright spot and watched it with gusto.

Mendieta glanced at the press spokesman, then glanced out the window. It turned out that it was starting to rain.

He picked up the newspaper, rolled it up tightly, balled it up, and threw it far across the room like a grenade.

The trash can in the corner received a strong impact, so without hesitation, it chose not to violate the laws of physics and rolled directly to the ground.

So all the miscellaneous things were scattered on the floor, pages of scrapped speech drafts, mixed with tons of cigarette butts and ashes, a few empty beer cans and tomato juice bottles, and a few pieces with tooth marks.

bread.

"He should have a good breakfast. Take pity on him. I'll tell him after breakfast," Mendieta said, making a decision.

Although his tone was completely for Jose's benefit, this was really not a wise decision...

Jose Napoleon Duarte was enjoying his breakfast egg dish with a napkin tied around his neck and a knife and fork in hand.

Baked golden eggs paired with a few slices of rye bread smeared with lime juice, and a few slices of avocado on the side made him want to eat. Wonderful food can always bring him a happy mood.

Early this morning, his staff finished the manuscript of the speech for tomorrow's meeting. He attaches great importance to this speech in the parliament. This is his first speech to the National Assembly after taking office as president.

At the meeting, he will put forward the governance goals and measures to be taken by this government, focusing on solving the problem of the increasing number and increasingly serious problems of landless farmers.

According to reports obtained by the survey, 70% of the people in El Salvador are struggling in poverty, and more than 1 million people live on the streets.

The rise of the large plantation economy caused the bankruptcy of the small-scale peasant economy. At the same time, due to war, it caused abnormal urbanization development across the country. 44% of the total population are crowded in big cities.

In the country's seven largest cities, there are more than 1.5 million unemployed people. The total unemployment rate is 20% and the semi-unemployment rate is 30%. Together, there are nearly 2.7 million people.

Among those who have jobs, hawkers and handymen account for 48%. However, this is the case across Latin American countries. The average proportion of workers without a fixed income in the labor force is 46%.

While adults have no work to do, child labor has increased to 600,000. Many children have been engaged in heavy physical work such as brickmaking since they were 5 years old.

The disparity between rich and poor is not a problem. 40% of the poor population only has 12.9% of the national income. A dozen large families are as rich as the country and are the real rulers of El Salvador.

To this day, land is still the main reason that troubles El Salvador.

90% of the cultivated land is in the hands of large landowners and large herdsmen. Before Jose took control of the power, those large landowners had the right to occupy the land of small farmers at will. The average farmer could not really settle down, and could only continue to open up wasteland and take temporary refuge.

.

Those landowners and plantation owners also periodically carried out massacres in the countryside to eradicate any dissatisfaction and resistance, and at the same time, they could take advantage of the chaos to acquire more land.

Although after Jose came to power, he immediately promulgated a decree prohibiting this cruel land annexation, and announced the legalization of land reclamation, encouraged land reclamation, and stipulated that the government would exempt land newly reclaimed by individuals or families within the next five years.

They collect no taxes, and the government also provides them with small loans for agricultural production.

However, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. After the promulgation of the law, more farmers were unemployed than before the promulgation of the law.

The reason was that large landowners and plantation owners began to generally evict tenant farmers, so that the latter could not obtain a piece of land as stipulated in the law. The policy exploration of land reform just promulgated by Jose completely failed.

In view of this, Jose has just taken office as president and the public support rate is still relatively high. After discussing with his American advisers and under the advice of Essien Capon, he is ready to start solving this problem that has troubled the Salvadoran government for many years.

problem.

Jose asked his men to clean up the mess left by staying up all night, and then printed out the manuscript before everyone went to bed.

This sleep was not long, but Jose felt that this was the most comfortable sleep he had had in a while.

Everything that happened during the election was like a dark cloud hanging over his head. The party president Embryoni Hernandez was in the dark, and the cabinet was headed by the Minister of Agriculture and Land Yolande Bain Horsford.

clique...

Of course, there are also outside speculations that the president does not trust his cabinet members, that senior cabinet ministers are dissatisfied with him as president, and that there is discord between the leader and the party chairman, etc.

These past remarks have been lingering in Jose's mind, and he can't help but think about them when his mind has a little free time.

Over and over again...
