EL SALVADOR: Ortiz given tough FMLN rescue mission
President Salvador Sánchez Cerén has appointed his deputy, Óscar Ortiz, to assume command over the cabinet and the government’s economic and security policies in a bid to revive his fortunes in the remaining 18 months of his term in office after the ruling left-wing Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN) suffered a major setback in congressional elections on 4 March. It appears that Ortiz accepted the offer as recompense for being overlooked (again) for the FMLN’s presidential candidacy in 2019.
