Presidency’s legal advisor Conan Castro dismisses letter written by members of U.S. Congress
Estamos hablando de diez u once que fueron los que firmaron de trescientos ochenta y tantos que son los senadores en Estados Unidos. No representan ni siquiera el cinco por ciento de ellos. Esto quiere decir que no es unánime, que no es una visión que tenga realmente el gobierno de los Estados Unidos, sino más bien de estos pocos senadores que posiblemente sean amigos del señor dueño de El Faro
Conan Castro
After receiving a letter from members of the U.S. Congress in which they expressed their concern about freedom of the press in El Salvador and the strained relationship between the government of Nayib Bukele and independent media, the presidency’s legal advisor Conan Castro dismissed the document.
Diario El Mundo reports that he said:
“These types of statements must be made through the official channels, that is, through the U.S. Embassy, through the ambassador, otherwise it is not an official channel but just another letter”.
Furthermore, he said to newsreporters the following words:
“We are talking about ten or eleven signers out of three hundred and eighty-something senators in the United States. They do not represent even five percent of them. This means that it is not unanimous, that it is not a vision held by the government of the United States, but rather of these few senators who are possibly friends of the owner of El Faro“.
