ARENA MP Margarita Escobar tells El Salvador’s ambassador to the United States that she is not empowered to do partisan politics, but to look after the interests of the Nation.
After a talk by El Salvador’s ambassador to the United States, Milena Mayorga with US lawmaker Albi Sires, and later criticism of the official that Mayorga “mishandled” his words on Twitter ; ARENA MP Margarita Escobar says the ambassador believed she could “lie”.
“I think she thought she was in El Salvador, that she could lie happily in a talk she had with a congressman and the congressman in a very forceful and embarrassing way for her, but for the country of El Salvador, she says she is perplexed by the manipulation of the tweets posted by the ambassador, this at the end of the day will have an impact on Salvadorans living in the United States, “said Escobar.
According to Escobar, this fact demonstrates the importance of having a person with the right skills for the position, especially if he represents the Savior 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 demonstrates the importance of El Salvador being represented in Washington by professionals, by people with knowledge of diplomacy, bilateral relations and above all who assume their role as ambassador and not as a political activist of a president and less than ‘a political party,’ Escobar expressed.
Sires claims 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 U.S. lawmaker lamented. Faced with this, Sires advanced that he will re-evaluate his interaction from now on with Mayorga.
And it is that the Salvadoran ambassador prominent in the US, has noted that he discussed with Sires health and safety policies in El Salvador and addressed the letter that Sires sent to Bukele. This, she said, the ambassador, “to know first hand their concerns about El Salvador.”
According to Mayorga, Congressman Sires reiterated that he knew President Nayib Bukele and that “he stressed that for no reason should he be disqualified.”
“The rather sensitive national interest is at stake, on the other hand, she should know that she is not empowered to do partisan politics, nor is politics in favor of her president, as she calls her, an ambassador of a country, to represent the whole Nation and represent the national interest, but the national interest that is not confused, is not to defend its president, it is not to defend its political party, it is not to defend its group; national means defending the Salvadoran people on issues such as migration, TPS, a new law in Congress that gives them migratory stability, always be vigilant of cooperation, but what has happened ?, They have taken away the cooperation of Fomilenio and suspended cooperation military … “, said Escobar.
