Reborn American Giants

Everything should be remembered, and everything will disappear with the wind.

Waldo muttered to himself this sentence that he heard from somewhere. He didn't think this sentence had any profound meaning in the past, but today, standing here, he suddenly felt that this sentence was very appropriate.

So he couldn't help but read it in a low voice.

"Hey, buddy, what are you talking about?" Beside him, Tanko poked his head out. He felt that his buddy seemed a little distracted today.

"Tanco, do you think it was our reports that brought down Filiagas?" Waldo murmured in a low voice.

Regarding his question, Tanko looked very surprised, "Of course, man, we have played a very good role in media supervision. If it weren't for us, the dirty faces of these politicians would have been hidden for how long."

"Maybe," Waldo said in a low voice. He always felt that the process of Filiagas' downfall was too smooth, just like a snowball. The snowball started from a small ball and slowly rolled bigger and bigger.

Until it could no longer control it, it followed the driving force from behind and relied on inertia, hitting the hard wall and then falling apart.

They are now sitting in the press conference room of the city council. There are a lot of reporters sitting in the audience. They are discussing something in low voices with each other. From their whispers, a familiar word emerges: Felicia Gaspar.

Livian, it seems that today's events should be related to this congressman who has been "prosperous" recently.

Soon, Felicia's chief of staff Guti appeared on the press stage. He stood on the stage, holding the microphone in his hand and said: "Hello everyone, welcome friends from the media to come here today. Felicia will be here later."

Congressman Sri Lanka will issue a statement to explain a series of events that have occurred in San Salvador in recent times."

"Let me first make it clear here that questions will not be accepted at today's press conference. If you have any questions later, please submit your application to the press office of the city council. There will be dedicated staff to answer your questions. Thank you all."

After just two or three sentences, the congressman's chief of staff released the microphone in his hand, turned around and left. Looking at him, it seemed as if he couldn't wait to escape from this place. But the media reporters in the audience seemed

Some are excited. They know that the foreplay is over and the climax is about to come. They open their "bloody mouths" and wait for the arrival of prey.

Soon, Congressman Filiagas Balivian appeared on the press stage. He looked very bad. His eyes were sunken, with some heavy eye shadow around them, his beard was unshaven, and his skin had lost its luster. He looked like a

The soaked and dried linen paper has completely lost its vitality, and the collar of the shirt is also wrinkled.

He is completely different from the handsome congressman who appeared in front of the public media in the past, but everyone knows that he is the target they are chasing, and they are ready to open their mouths and swallow the delicious food of San Salvador.

Backbencher on the City Council, Felicia Gasparivian.

"Oh, he looks really terrible, but readers should like his image. Maybe he can also set off a trend of decadence..." Tanko whispered teasingly in Waldo's ear,

The coldness in the words caused some goosebumps to appear involuntarily on the skin around Waldo's ears.

"Pay attention to what he says," Waldo interrupted Tanko's whisper, leaning sideways and listening intently to Filiagas' statement on the stage.

"...Good morning, gentlemen and ladies, thank you very much for coming on time today," Filiagas's image looked very decadent, but his voice was surprisingly soft, "I will issue a brief statement today.

It will delay you for too long..."

…

"Recently, major media outlets in San Salvador have been reporting on some matters concerning my work and personal life. Until now, these reports have shown no sign of easing. For this reason, I have been constantly doing

I declare that I have strictly abided by the provisions of the Constitution of El Salvador and El Salvador’s Electoral Competition Law, as well as the rights and responsibilities given to me. Regarding my position as a parliamentarian, I can proudly declare that I strictly abide by the behavioral norms and professional ethics required by this position.”

Looking around, the media in the audience were also very quiet. They listened to his words carefully. They used the tape recorder, paper and pen, and camera in their hands to record his words. They licked their dry lips and did not sleep for two days.

There was an indescribable bitter taste in his mouth, and his mind was dizzy. There was chaos inside, which supported him standing here. It was the last thing in him, as a man from the Lempa Valley in the north.

The only thing a man has is his tenacity.

Filiagas looked down at the speech in his hand and continued to say mechanically: "...I faced the most serious accusation for a politician, which is "malfeasance of duty." The media and my colleagues in the parliament have all accused

I have not effectively fulfilled the responsibilities and obligations of serving the citizens of San Salvador as stipulated in my position as a parliamentarian. I cannot explain all this. For this reason, I have asked the internal committee of the parliament to investigate these accusations against me in order to repay

My true innocence."

"I believe that the committee's investigation can produce truly correct results."

"But after all, investigation takes a lot of time and energy. Now the public opinion outside is rampant, which has caused a lot of trouble to me and my family. At the same time, these turbulent public opinion reports and hints and speculations without evidence,

It also inevitably affects the normal operation and operation of government agencies.

The public shaping of the party's image, the government's energy should be focused on promoting more projects that benefit the people, but recently, none of this has been achieved. People have questioned my office as a congressman, and my

The duty is to maintain the public image and authority of the parliamentarian’s office.”

His throat seemed to be blocked by something. Filiagas covered his mouth with his left hand and coughed twice. The sound came out from the microphone like thunder.

"Since I joined political activities, I have devoted myself wholeheartedly to seeking benefits for the citizens of San Salvador. For this reason, I have also neglected my family. But now, facing public accusations, I should bravely stand up and defend

The normal operation of government institutions and the fair and strict image of the party. Just leaving like this is not that I am evading the accusations from the outside. The committee's investigation results will eventually give me a fair conclusion, but all this will take time, and I also want to

I want to take good care of my family, so I will announce here..."

"Resigning as a member of the San Salvador City Council, along with all my party positions within the Nationalist Republican Alliance..."

"...thank you everyone for coming today."

Philagas folded the note in his hand, put it into his pocket and put it away, turned around and left the press stage, and walked away.

Before the reporters in the audience had time to sigh, they watched the back of former congressman Mr. Filiagas disappear into the aisle behind the press desk. The two people standing at the door had their hands crossed, and the serious-looking parliamentary security personnel let these

The reporter gave up the urge to do anything else

, could only whisper to each other to discuss what had just happened, and then left one after another. They wanted to quickly report the news of Filiagas's resignation to the society, so that the entire city of San Salvador would know that that incompetent scumbag, Felix

Yagas Balivian finally got out.

"Man, let's go out for a drink," Tanko gently tapped Waldo on the shoulder, waking up his colleague who seemed to be in a trance.

"Okay, let's go," Waldo sighed, stretched his body that was numb after sitting for a long time, followed his companions, walked out of the parliament building, and went straight to "Tim's Bar" not far from the parliament building. Today

What happened was really shocking. A once-high-ranking congressman fell under the "pen, knife, paper and gun" of the media. They had to digest it. During the military government, the media had never had access to it.

Such power.

Victor gently turned off the live TV. He did not appear in the parliament building today, but stayed in Fandino's small building. However, he was still paying attention to the movements of Congressman Filiagas, and he also wanted to see it.

, how powerful those photos can be, and the power of his new ally, the media tycoon Bossa Noblebus, will determine how he should treat this ally in the future.

Now it looks like the photos are good and the people are nice.

He raised the wine glass in his hand to his eyebrows. The strong sunlight outside the window refracted through the bright red wine, reflecting the colorful light. He squinted his eyes slightly, took a gulp of the wine in his hand, and then said:

A sigh of contentment.

The word "politics" in English comes from the ancient Greek word "poly", which means "a lot", and the latter "tics" comes from "ticks", which means "little blood-sucking bugs"."
