This Sunday, Daniela Genovez and Karina Sosa filed a complaint with the public prosecutor’s office against Roberto Silva. While the TSE will evaluate to remove the journalistic reference with which it entered the hotel where the last check is being made.
The Twitter account of Roberto Silva, a member of New Ideas and youtuber who produces material related to the government, was suspended following multiple complaints to the social network following his comments against two former FMLN candidates.
Through his account, Silva published videos and texts harassing former FMLN deputy candidate Daniela Genovez, who was in the main hotel where the final check takes place.
Genovez, who reported being the victim of harassment by the alleged state radio station journalist, filed a complaint with the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) and the Office of the Attorney for the Defense of Human Rights (PDDH).

Twitter suspends Roberto Silva’s account
“We fear our physical integrity is at risk because we don’t know what it is capable of,” Genovez told reporters last Sunday while accompanying Representative Karina Sosa, who also extended the complaint to the FGR.
In addition, “We are talking about a government employee who makes women aggressive,” Karina Sosa of the FMLN denounces a pro Bukele activist in the prosecutor’s office.
Silva is an alleged content creator of the YouTube platform who is close to the ruling party and whose credentials from the state of Radio El Salvador allowed him to enter the place where the investigation is being conducted.
Next Sunday, the TSE will investigate whether the press reference previously given to Silva should be withdrawn following complaints from two female members of the FMLN for harassment, violence against women and defamation.
Only people with credentials approved by the TSE, including journalists, have access to the area where the final check will be made.
In recent hours, a video has been distributed on social networks in which Silva insults Genovez. Users on Twitter have expressed dislike for Silva’s harassment and misogynistic attitude.
The president of the Association of Journalists of El Salvador (APES), Angélica Cárcamo, also condemned the expressions of violence against women by the youtuber against the two former FMLN candidates.
I support the condemnation and rejection of violence against women by a youtuber posing as a journalist. The subject carried an identification card authorized by the @RTLNews on behalf of radio El Salvador @ david_david2The @FGR_SV and the PNC must act immediately.
