What can be inferred from an interview with Cruz published by El Diario de Hoy, and from the ideas of this Nicaraguan citizen, is that he has not said anything that has not been already said in the past by the Salvadoran academics. These issues have to do with the need to strengthen the political center, with the advantages that ARENA usually obtains from the fear against a drastic social change, with the political potential of Hector Silva, and with ARENA’s lack of sensibility towards several economic sectors (agriculture, industry, the small and the medium business companies).
Por lo que se colige de la entrevista concedida por Cruz a El Diario de Hoy, así como del seguimiento que la prensa dio al evento y a las ideas del nicaragüense, éste no ha dicho ni señalado cosas que antes no hubieran planteado académicos salvadoreños con la misma solvencia y con igual o mayor contundencia: lo saludable de fortalecer el centro político, la ventaja que suele obtener ARENA del miedo al cambio social drástico, la rentabilidad política de Héctor Silva, la poca sensibilidad de ARENA hacia sectores económicos como la agricultura, la industria, la pequeña y mediana empresa, etc.
