Remarks by Dr. Oscar Santamaría, Former Foreign Minister of El Salvador (Spanish only)
...
El Salvador es hoy un país en paz y en concordia. A más de quince años de la firma de los Acuerdos de Paz, como dije en una entrevista hace algún tiempo, El Salvador es otro país. Su futuro se vislumbra distinto.
Podemos decir con verdadero satisfacción que se desmantelaron las estructuras que sostenían el conflicto y las antiguas fuerzas insurgentes se incorporaron a la vida civil, institucional, política y productiva.
Las disputas que antes pretendían resolverse en los campos de batalla, hay se resuelven en la Asamblea Legislativa del país. Hoy ya no es necesario tomar un arma para luchar por un mejor destino para El Salvador. Las instituciones democráticas son hoy un recinto de un debate plura-lista y amplio, donde la sociedad civil tiene una destacada participación en las grandes decisiones que tienen que ver con el desarrollo. Ahora estamos todos participando en la toma de decisiones para construir un futuro mejor para nuestro país, ya no hay exclusiones como en el pasado.
Los antiguos contendientes en el conflicto armado, hoy razonan sus diferencias civilizadamente en el ámbito parlamentario y dentro del marco de la libre expresión del pensamiento y la palabra. Las disputas han dejado de resolverse por la fuerza de las armas e impera el diálogo civilizado en todo el país.
Las antiguas organizaciones insurgentes, hoy son partidos políticos organizados legalmente y participan en los diferentes comicios electorales a todos los niveles y tienen sus representantes en la Asamblea Legislativa y Consejos Municipales.
Las instituciones sufrieron una profunda reforma y transformación que alteró los antiguos pará-metros del Poder; la Constitución refleja hoy un nuevo consenso y alberga un nuevo pacto social.
El país se ha desmilitarizado y el Poder civil impera sobre las autoridades militares. Hoy somos una sociedad civil y civilista.
