He added that, in the remaining indicator, the Presidency of the Republic was the institution that generated the most trust among Salvadorans, something that, he said, only happened in El Salvador.

Fede Sturzenegger stated that, in the debate over the privatization of Aysa, attention should focus on the Brazilian operator Arcos and not on the local partners.
