ARENA’s deputy, Margarita Escobar, tells El Salvador’s ambassador to the United States that she is not empowered to engage in party politics, but to promote the interests of the nation.
After a conversation El Salvador’s ambassador to the United States, Milena Mayorga had with US legislator Albio Sires, and later the official’s criticism that Mayorga was “wrong” using his words on Twitter; ARENA’s deputy, Margarita Escobar, says the ambassador thought she could “lie.”
“I think she thought she was in El Salvador, that she could lie cheerfully in a conversation she had with a congressman and the congressman in a very powerful and embarrassing way for her, but for the country of El Salvador she says she is perplexed. Because of the manipulation of the tweets posted by the ambassador, this will have an impact on Salvadorans living in the United States at the end of the day, ”said Escobar.
According to Escobar, this fact demonstrates the importance of having a person with the ideal capacities for the position, especially if he represents El Salvador in Washington, but above all that they assume their role as it should be by law and not as a defender of a political party.

“It shows how important it is that El Salvador is represented in Washington by professional people, by people with knowledge of diplomacy, bilateral relations and above all who take on their role as ambassadors and not as political activist of a president and less as party politicians. Escobar said.
Sires alleges that Mayorga shared inaccurate quotes attributed to him. “It’s the first time in my 15 years in Congress that something like this has happened,” the US legislator complained. Given that, Sires has announced that he will re-evaluate his interaction with Mayorga from now on.
And it is that the Salvadoran ambassador to the United States pointed out that she discussed health and safety policies in El Salvador with Sires and addressed the letter Sires sent to Bukele. This, the ambassador said, “to know firsthand their concerns about El Salvador.”
According to Mayorga, Congressman Sires reiterated that he knew President Nayib Bukele and that “he insisted that he should be disqualified for no reason.”
“The rather sensitive national interest is at stake, on the other hand she needs to know that she is not empowered to participate in party politics, nor politics in favor of her president, as she calls him, she is an ambassador of a country. , to represent the whole nation and represent the national interest, but the national interest that is not confused does not defend its president, it does not defend its political party, it does not defend its group; Defending the national interest means defending the Salvadoran people on issues like migration, TPS, a new law in Congress that gives them stability in immigration, always be vigilant about cooperation, but what happened? They have taken away Fomilenio’s cooperation, military cooperation… ”said Escobar.
