The newspaper El Salvador in a big headline shows the announcement of the president “Government of El Salvador will pay this month bills for water and electricity”.

“The economic measure applies to bills of up to 80 and 30 dollars for energy and water, respectively, and will benefit 1,8 million Salvadoran households,” the newspaper said.

While Tuesday night and Wednesday morning television news positively address the pronouncements of the head of the Salvadoran government.

Likewise, Jorge Castaneda, president of the National Administration of Aqueducts and Sewers (ANDA) of El Salvador appeared in the early hours of the morning on the interview program AM of Channel 10 defending the measure announced by Bukele.

Referring to the issue of water pollution, something used by opponents to attack the government for approving metal mining, the official said the existing contamination of water sources dates back decades.
