San Salvador, El Salvador, Jun 2, 2009 / 20:48 pm
Archbishop Jose Luis Escobar Alas of San Salvador called on the country’s new president, Mauricio Funes, to seek out the common good and to “surround himself with qualified people” in his government.
The archbishop called on the newly-elected president, who is a former journalist, to heed the counsel of experts “who know what they are doing.”
The new government, he said, “must work for the common good in order to confront the crisis that we are facing in the country.”
“The nation hopes that the new government will have a positive attitude in seeking out prosperity, freedom and development,” the archbishop said.
