Reborn American Giants

With everyone paying attention, the news of the failure of the by-election in La Paz province came back, which caused quite a stir.

As the place where the Christian Democratic Party started, since the establishment of the Christian Democratic Party of El Salvador in 1960 by Lara Berardo, Avram Rodriguez and Napoleon Duarte in Zacatecoluca, the capital of La Paz Province, the province of La Paz has

It has always been regarded as the territory of the Christian Democrats. The people here have been supporting them for decades and it has never changed.

Therefore, when they first received the news, everyone was a little confused, and then an atmosphere of common hatred and hatred filled their hearts.

However, this emotion came and went quickly, but by lunch time, this emotion disappeared. Everyone vented their frustration and dissatisfaction while eating lunch.

Of course, the target of this venting was Jose Napoleon Duarte.

Smart politicians immediately distance themselves from any involvement in this failure.

They talked to the reporters around them about how they warned the president not to hold a by-election at this time, and tried their best to express that they had no responsibility.

Just like a ship sailing on the sea, but it has just leaked. The sailors on these ships do not want to repair the leaks, but want to jump into the water to escape immediately.

At the same time, the Presidential Office of Independence Palace, which is at the center of the storm, is also looking for a scapegoat. Some people say that President Jose's press secretary once said when chatting with a reporter in the "Stranger Bar" that this by-election

The responsibility for the failure lies with the party headquarters, President Hernández Embrioni.

However, everyone turned a deaf ear to this explanation, and the group instinct led everyone to automatically ignore other voices.

A newspaper that has always been loyal to the government and regarded as an ally by the Christian Democrats wrote this.

"Yesterday the president suffered another defeat, and he should have taken advantage of the opportunity to address growing questions about his leadership."

However, the failure of this by-election was described by a cabinet colleague as another proof of its "weakness".

After the "Self-Defense Forces Reduction Plan" was leaked, the by-election in La Paz Province, which he had hoped to win, failed shamefully. Faced with this situation, the latest presidential public support survey released by the opposition party made the president's situation a "disaster".

.

According to surveys, President Jose's public approval rating has dropped by 15 percentage points compared with when he was first elected, and is actually 3% behind the leader of the opposition party.

Faced with such a predicament, the party needs to conduct a very serious and realistic analysis and receive comfort and assurance to restore morale.

However, in the words of a Christian Democratic congressman, "What we got was just clichés that were rewritten from previous speeches."

…

The criticism of Jose Napoleon Duarte was even more open and unbridled.

Ricardo Leoncio Elias, backbencher for the Nuevo San Salvador region, said: “The constituency has given us a wake-up call with the results. The people are no longer satisfied with the same old talk and the complacency of a frog in a well.

They are hungry for change, and maybe the president should step down in favor of someone better."

In a high-rise building on Cesar Street in downtown San Salvador, the editor of the industry-leading hotspot tracking column "Weekend Observation" was studying the newspaper in his hand while urging his staff to hold an emergency meeting.

Twenty minutes later, the program team decided to cancel an interview with a trade union leader that was originally scheduled to be broadcast tomorrow.

The content of tomorrow's entire thirty-minute program has been completely changed.

Former Christian Democratic MP Angelo Adams was invited to participate, as well as the heads of some opinion polling agencies and some authorities in this field.

The content of the urgently produced new program is: "Is it time to go...?"

Political turmoil will inevitably affect the financial market. Victor instructed Zelda to let the newly established Green Bay Venture Capital Bank quietly sell off its local currency and buy a large amount of US dollars and pounds.

Other investment institutions followed suit. Farela Fernando, the head of Bank of America, which leads El Salvador's financial market, called the bank's own assistant at his home surrounded by greenery on the outskirts of San Salvador.

During the phone call, Farella asked his assistant to inform all senior executives to arrive at the office early the next day.

"Those political messes will definitely disappoint the market. We must seize the time to reduce losses before other institutions start selling."

On Sunday, a reporter from "News Photo" contacted the candidate who had just lost the by-election in La Paz province, Remisio Morales, the widow of the recently deceased Cáceres congressman.

The reporter purposely made the call after the other party had finished lunch and licked his wounds.

During the phone call, the reporter briefed the woman who had just lost the by-election on news from the media. It sounded like the widow of the Cáceres congressman had a strong hatred for the party, which she believed was

She lost her husband's career and reputation.

"He made me lose my husband's reputation, but does he think his position is secure?"

This is really a wonderful front-page headline, the reporter thought with satisfaction.

Amfilo is currently in his manor on the outskirts of San Salvador, next to the Fecarin Forest. This manor was built in the British country style. Whenever Amfilo has something important to decide, he will run here.

Come and stay for a few days, clear your mind and relax your body.

However, even if he hid here, the phone calls in the manor were still being buzzed by several worried cabinet colleagues and senior backbench MPs.

They expressed their concerns to Amfilo about the current state of the party on the phone, and David Samanes Ocampo, who was preparing to replace him and served as chairman of the Christian Democratic National Committee, also called him.

, expressed the same concerns.

"...You also know that I should communicate these matters to the party chairman, Amfilo," the straightforward man explained: "But the relationship between the Independence Palace and the party headquarters has been very delicate recently, and it is short of a public declaration of war.

Now, I don’t want to get involved right now and make both sides different, so there are some things I can only tell you..."

"What's the matter? Old man David?" Amfilo held the receiver between his shoulder and ear, and was using a screwdriver to dismantle a car radio without stopping.

This is a little-known hobby of his. In his spare time, our Vice President Amfilo always likes to repair some broken but seemingly complicated electrical appliances by himself.

This can maintain the agility of thinking.

This is what Amfilo said to his wife who was puzzled by his behavior.

The voice on the other end of the phone continued, "...the heads of civilian committees of several parties came to me and asked me whether the party was going to launch a "vote of no confidence" against Jose..."

"What did you say?" After hearing the topic he was interested in, Amfilo dropped the screwdriver in his hand and stopped dismantling the casing of the 33-year-old Rover car radio.

"...How do you want me to answer this kind of question," the voice on the phone sounded a little complaining, "I can only comfort them, tell them not to worry, and then fool these people away.

But tell me honestly, should I be worried?"

"David, don't worry. The current turmoil is only temporary. We will eventually get through it."

"I hope so..."
