A small group of supporters and members of the party, including the deputies of the Legislative Assembly, Anabel Belloso, and of Parlacen, Carina Sosa, gathered in one of the unused Sitramss terminals next to the Children’s Park, in San Salvador.

In his speech, the presidential candidate, Manuel Flores, said that he is not afraid to participate in the race, because “I have already gone down to the bowels of hell to debate with the devil,” the politician said.

He also appealed to abandon political attacks and put forward proposals instead of “hate speeches”; Flores thus joins the appeals of the FMLN deputies who repeatedly ask the New Ideas bench, in the plenary sessions, to stop remembering the past since these legislators represent “a renewed party.”
