Reborn American Giants

Chapter 118 Casta?era Movement

At this moment, on the dilapidated Omat Street, I don't know when, under the watchful eyes of the security members of the special service team guarding the entrance to the Balan slum, a large group of people in various clothes began to gather.

They were waving signs filled with slogans and became increasingly angry under the direction and instigation of several men running forward and behind.

If Mendieta sees the leading men, he will soon know their identities.

Remício Morales Bermudez, who is in his forties, comes from a family of bankrupt farmers. He studied at San Roman Catholic School when he was a boy. After graduating from high school, he went to study at the University of Central America.

With a charity scholarship from the church, he completed his bachelor's and master's degree studies in political economics.

After graduation, Morales relied on his shrewd mind and political speculation to join the then National Reconciliation Party. For a period of time, he even relied on his status as a party member to become a party leader in the El Amat region.

.

However, just when he was high-spirited and dreamed of smooth sailing and rapid advancement, he was suddenly exposed to the scandal of accepting bribes, colluding with some prominent local figures in El Amat, and misappropriating party funds.

As a result, Morales not only lost his position as the regional party leader, but was also completely expelled from the party by the then-ruling Military/National Reconciliation Party, which was equivalent to the complete end of his political life.

Mendieta was able to get to know Morales because after a period of silence, this guy suddenly became one of the leaders of the "Castanera Movement" active around the capital San Salvador.

Speaking of the "Castanera Movement", it is actually one of the landless peasant/movement organizations that has been generally active in the areas around the capital since the outbreak of the civil war. It claims to have more than 100,000 members, but in fact, this number is about the same.

is real.

Since the outbreak of the civil war, people in El Salvador living in the northern mountainous areas such as El Salvador and Tejutla have begun to flee to the capital of San Salvador with their families and children in order to escape the war.

Today, the capital area is home to more than 600,000 refugees from several northern provinces such as Sensuntepec, Ahuachapan, and Sonsonate, and many more people have crossed the border.

Fleeed to several neighboring countries.

Like other landless/peasant movements active in El Salvador, the "Castanera Movement" is one of the important components in this series of efforts to protect the interests of these landless/peasants.

The initiators of the movement organized these poor people who had lost all their property and had no food and clothing in an attempt to attract the attention of the government and all walks of life, protect the rights and interests of the majority of people from being infringed, and fight against the unfair social distribution system.

The original intention is good, but as the saying goes, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

Once such an organization becomes large, all kinds of people will start to mix in, trying to achieve their own goals.

Compared with the illegal immigrants and smugglers living in slums, these landless/peasant movement organizations are very different.

That is, as a social and political movement organization with accurate political slogans, most of its members are legal citizens with the right to vote. Take the Fandino slum as an example, most of the people in it are

Some stowaways without legal status, or so-called "rogue citizens" who have never paid a penny in taxes, all of these people have no right to vote.

Most of the members of organizations such as the "Castanera Movement" are landless farmers from the northern mountainous areas. They all have legal birth certificates, legal years of residence in this country, and they also pay taxes.

Records, therefore, also enjoy all rights provided for by the Constitution.

In this way, they will be regarded as a social and political force, and their weapons are the votes held by their members.

And now, this group of people appears here in an organized manner, naturally not to welcome our Mr. President, but to make their own voices heard by those high-ranking big shots.

It is lunch time now, and there are many people dining in the Chinese restaurant.

In fact, Chinese food is still very popular in San Salvador, and everyone is very interested in this kind of oriental food.

Although the owners of this newly opened Chinese restaurant are a couple of Spanish descent, the chef is an authentic chef from Baodao. They prepare a full range of Fujian cuisine and the dishes are also very authentic.

In addition, the charges are not very high, so customers don’t have to worry.

At this moment, under the instructions of his boss, a black clerk approached timidly. From the moment he entered the store, he occupied the few "customers" near the window, who seemed to be very difficult to mess with.

"Gentlemen, would you like to order something to eat?"

Adan put down the telescope in his hand, turned around and glanced at the guy. He waited until the guy didn't know where to put his hands and feet under his gaze, and looked like he was about to cry, then he turned his head.

He asked the companions next to him who were also "security officers": "What do you want to eat?"

After waiting for several hours, the Mexican carnitas bought from a fast food restaurant had long since become stiff and hard. It tasted like chewing on a piece of rotten wood that had been hollowed out by insects, without any flavor.

Adan was originally complaining that he was now considered a person of some status. As a small leader under Piru, he was still chewing on this thing that was worse than dog food.

It felt right to hear the waiter's question at this moment, so he didn't wait for the other companions to reply, but asked the uneasy waiter: "I haven't eaten at your place before, do you have any good recommendations?

Let me hear it."

The black waiter was thinking about what the helper Misal said when he was chatting and spanking with several other waiters in the back kitchen just now.

"You can tell at a glance that these people are not good people. I heard that these gang members are people who kill without blinking an eye. You have to be careful when dealing with them, otherwise, hum..."

There was no explanation, but the bright and sharp kitchen knife that was chopped on the cutting board at the right time already represented Misal's meaning.

Swallowing secretly, the waiter immediately replied: "The signature dishes our store launched today include fish cake soup, peanut pig's feet, tube rice cake..."

Some dishes do not have Spanish translations, and the waiter stammers in unclear Chinese. It seems that the owner of this store is very business-savvy, and he actually requires his clerk to report the dish names in Chinese to the customers.

Create an immersive dining environment.

Although in fact these guys don't know what they are talking about.

He spoke hard, and Adan was tired of listening, so he waved his hand and interrupted the clerk's introduction, "...you can give us a copy of what you have in the store today."

"Yes, sir."

The guy couldn't wait to leave. A Dan was feeling very interesting when the companion who had been paying attention to the movement suddenly patted his arm with excitement and whispered "Here we come."

Adan quickly raised the binoculars in his hand to take a look. Several tough-looking security personnel from the special service team at the intersection, wearing suits and sunglasses, suddenly moved. They commanded some police from the local branch to move again.

The "Castanera Movement" protesters who were originally separated by the barrier on the sidewalk were pushed back.

A burst of abuse broke out from both sides again, but these special service teams ignored it and just completed the orders above with serious faces.

Adan knew that the main characters were coming, so he also set up a video recorder and prepared to complete their mission today...
