In his message, the founder of Grupo Salinas also praised the salvadoran president’s administration, attributing the progress he highlighted to his leadership. Furthermore, he questioned the conduct of Mexican politicians, labeling them corrupt and inept, while drawing a comparison between the situations in the two countries.
