OBAMA VISIT TO EL SALVADOR Letter to President Barack Obama
Dagoberto Gutierrez. You come to a country mired in abject poverty, the greatest crime in most state public crisis of meaning, but in the reign of the total market total. This market is the company for 20 years, governments of his country, and yours too, have encouraged and supported as the only neo-liberal model is more favorable to U.S. interests. You also know that this is the model used also in Iraq, with the name "Remember El Salvador", has destroyed this Arab country.
His arrival in our country government has raised hopes, but are known for their economic woes and complicated government room to maneuver. On behalf of the Salvadoran people are indifferent and wisdom to understand that Salvadorans who have immigrated to your country contribute importantly to produce U.S. wealth, although remittances to support families and the Salvadoran economy.
is only fair, Mr. President, that the United States being a country of migrants, other migrants have a fair, humane, and equal to the contribution given to the country where you live. His
visit has contributed to the system the center of our capital and when you plan to visit the tomb of Monsignor Romero, rest assured that those who were not near Bishop's thought, for this visit, which is the largest of its passage through the country will face to face with a president, Nobel peace prize, which makes the war at this time a sovereign country, and also makes other wars, and a man of peace as Archbishop Romero, a gunman and another disarmed, a murdered man, whose crime remains unpunished, and another man, ruler of a country that prepared the perpetrators. The tomb of Monsignor Romero, as you well know, is a place of convener and protest spirituality throbbing under the ever-living word from our Pastor.
His presence on our continent responds to urgent business in his country, geopolitical interests and the pursuit of natural resources, and in the case of El Salvador, it appears that attempts to define U.S. security policies within the which our country, plays or play roles or tasks hitherto unknown. Worryingly for the information society on the implementation in the country of an extension of Plan Colombia because it could turn to El Salvador at the scene of a conflict that would escape to the interests and possibilities Salvadoran.
As you know very well, the historical relations between his country and the continent, in general, and our country, in particular, have been fraught with tensions and confrontations of all kinds. For example, the backups coups like the one in Honduras that ended the legitimate government of President Mel Zelaya, or the condemned block practiced for over 50 years against the Cuban revolution. Or the infamous U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, or Cuban patriots sentences in the United States.
We know that oil and water are two natural resources are currently very sought after by your government and your country and that these resources are located in large quantities in South America, for what your government, very cleverly, put back his gaze on the world, when the planet will develop new processes and new forms of power centers around announcing new type correlations.
El Salvador, Mr. President, needs and seeks friendly relations and mutually convenient to the government, hoping that the Salvadoran migrants and receive fair treatment and legal part of his government for the contribution made to the economy and wealth United States.
We understand very well, and you need to know, that immigration policy should not be State to launch our compatriots to the dark ways of emigration full of mortal danger, rather, that Salvadoran society need to be able to reach anyone need to leave their homeland to build your own dream in their own soil and its own country.
understand that the possibilities for financial assistance from the government is not the highlight of his visit, given the known emergency in the U.S. economy, but we hope that, whatever the understandings reached by governments, not backups include policies that produce poverty and starvation, such as those that set the market up on the minimal state.
not impose those policies on the economy of nature, or sacrificing the country's productive capacity on behalf of a service economy, much less that policy which deprives El Salvador security and food sovereignty and makes the Salvadoran society a market standard, controls and regulates a state servant. Similarly, do not expect free trade agreements completely asymmetrical and disadvantageous to our country.
hope, as I have said, the establishment of friendly government, with sovereignty and mutual convenience, and at last, after all, the American people and Salvadorans, both peoples of migrants privilege of meeting and seek ways to reduce misunderstandings
