Chapter 74 Interesting

It was only one day after what happened at the National Assembly Palace. The newspaper that evaluated President Jose's experience as a disaster was not just the "News Photo". Almost all other newspapers joined in, not just Bosa.

Nord United Press Group.

In his report, Tanko briefly mentioned the rumors of an "official investigation" into the leaking of secrets by cabinet members, which can be regarded as setting off a thousand waves with one stone.

Soon, some people started making predictions and conjectures based on this.

These political commentators and observers believe that in the autumn, the Independence Palace will definitely undergo a long-overdue cabinet reshuffle or adjustment.

According to rumors around the Independence Palace, Jose Napoleon Duarte's temper is getting more and more erratic, and he often curses the service staff in the Independence Palace for trivial matters.

But in politics, good luck is rare, but bad luck is always there.

According to the experience of many people, the test that may push a person who is already in trouble to the peak of anger and despair is...

"Event, dear, big event."

The major event after the "plan to reduce self-defense forces" was leaked was a by-election for members of Congress originally scheduled to be held in La Paz Province in early May.

Christian Democratic MP for the province of La Paz, Andres Avellino Cáceres, finally closed his eyes, which were in pain after suffering a stroke and undergoing extensive treatment.

In fact, when Cáceres was elected, he had already been admitted to the intensive care unit. When he read out the oath, he was lying on the hospital bed, with his family supporting his hands and pressing his hand on a thick "El Salvador" book.

Constitution" on the cover, and then his wife completed the oath-taking ceremony on his behalf word for word.

But now, Cáceres has been buried, his ashes have returned to dust, and his soil has returned to earth. So La Paz province will face another electoral battle.

Someone on Jose's staff had originally suggested that he should not hold the by-election so soon, but should hold it directly together with the mid-term elections. In this way, the party would be more prepared. It is not worth the risk now.

However, Amfilo has a different view. He said that Cáceres has always had a high reputation in La Paz Province. The last time the Christian Democrats' votes there exceeded the opposition party by more than 70,000, this is a

Very safe numbers.

And now that Senator Cáceres has just passed away, many people will vote sympathetically for him. In this way, the Christian Democratic Party’s plan for Cáceres’ widow to run for office will definitely succeed. (But this is

The chief of staff of Congressman Cáceres muttered to the side that no one who really knows this old bastard would cast a damn sympathy vote.)

Jose can receive the victorious new La Paz provincial congressman after one of his speeches. In this way, he can boost the morale within the party that has been somewhat low recently due to the leakage of the "Reduction of Self-Defense Forces" plan.

.

Jose accepted Amfilo's advice and sent a large number of experienced Christian Democratic staff to La Paz Province to handle the electoral battle for the widow of the Cáceres congressman.

To ensure victory, he even personally appeared at an election rally held in La Paz Province to personally canvass votes for the 63-year-old woman named Remisio Morales.

But these tried-and-true tricks in the past seemed to have no effect at all this time.

The news returned by party workers who are specifically responsible for the election is not optimistic, and some are even full of complaints.

Of course, the campaign manager guarantees that the party will still be able to keep this seat. No one doubts this. After all, the Christian Democratic Party has been firmly in the seat of La Paz since its establishment.

However, the situation that President Jose hoped to achieve a one-sided and overwhelming victory is quietly moving away day by day.

It seems that the celebrations and carnival planned by party senior leaders for the by-election victory are hopeless.

Victor paid close attention to the trends in the political arena, and Nathan assisted him by compiling a report on all the information he had investigated so far, and then put it in front of him.

His fingers slid over the paper, and it was already the last page. Victor let out a breath. His eyesight was fine, but he stared at the sentences composed of small words for a long time, and then thought about and understood the meaning contained in them in his mind.

.

This method brought him not only physical fatigue, but also mental fatigue.

"...In other words, so far, even during the general election, the Christian Democratic Party has had several major information leaks. In fact, it is not generally believed that it was leaked by the cabinet or the party headquarters..."

Rubbing his dry eyes, Victor said in a calm voice.

"Yes," Nathan felt a little thirsty. While Victor was reading the report, he sat motionless across the table, waiting for the boss's inquiry.

He knew that some of the things mentioned in the investigation report were hard to believe, even bizarre.

But Nathan could swear that all this was the result of his own investigation. When writing this report, he even felt numb all over, and he couldn't tell whether it was excitement or fear.

"I wonder if you have any impression of Luis Jose de Obegoso, who is next to Vice President Amfilo."

"Well," Victor pondered for a moment, searching in his slightly chaotic mind, and soon the image of a middle-aged man with a big belly appeared in his mind.

"You're talking about Louis from the former chairman's office. Although we haven't interacted with him much, I still have a little impression of him."

It's hard not to be impressed by this guy. In Victor's only few meetings with Amfilo, he only appeared briefly once or twice.

But every time he saw his figure and the way he walked with his belly on his hands, Victor couldn't help but wonder why Amfilo would keep such a person by his side. It must be that he has some extraordinary strengths.

"Boss, didn't you ask me to keep an eye on the Independence Palace and the National Assembly? After the election, when everyone was getting promoted and making money, our Mr. Louis was sitting on a bench. This situation is very abnormal.

So I reached out to him."

Nathan picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. The mellow liquid stirred in his mouth. The slightly bitter coffee stimulated his taste buds to secrete a lot of saliva. He wanted to dilute the stimulation, which made his taste more sensitive.

, and you can better appreciate the aroma of coffee.

The dryness of his throat was slightly relieved, and Nathan put down the cup and continued: "So, I found that our Mr. Lewis has got into some trouble recently, and for some unknown reason, Mr. Amfilo did not come forward to help.

He solved it, so..."

"So he hated his benefactor and couldn't wait to bite him back before running away from him."

"Uh..." Victor's statement made Nathan a little confused about how to answer the call, but he quickly realized that the focus was not on Louis, but on the information he revealed, "That's right, but he

The news you told me was important.

According to what Louis said, this information was leaked by Amfilo himself under the instructions of Amfilo...

Moreover, our vice president has been in frequent private contact with some members of the cabinet recently, as if he is planning something..."

Victor held his chin with his right hand and said nothing, but he was thinking crazily in his mind.

Frequent conspiracies with cabinet members, the leakage of a large amount of confidential party information, and the inexplicable fall out with Bossano, a media tycoon, put the Christian Democratic Party's public opinion in a difficult position.

No matter which one of these things is mentioned alone, it will make people doubt Amfilo's intentions, let alone so many of them, gathered together.

When he connected these known information together, Victor's eyes lit up.

The question he had been wondering about for the past few days seemed to have been solved: why did the Palace of Independence reject the acquisition of Pregreso Media by the United Press Group?

Bossano has always been a die-hard supporter of the Christian Democrats. Of course, his support for the Christian Democrats is also a political investment.

But it is undeniable that the support of a media tycoon who controls 30% of the domestic media in El Salvador can relieve a lot of pressure for the Christian Democrats when they face some bad news.

And who is the biggest beneficiary of his support for the Christian Democratic Party? There is no doubt that it is the leader of the Christian Democratic Party, Jose Napoleon Duarte.

Now that he has fallen out with the Christian Democratic Party and parted ways, there is no doubt that the biggest victim is also our President Jose.

This is not a simple addition and subtraction like 1 plus 1 equals 2.

I didn't expect that this time, several major media outlets controlled by Bossano went all out to bombard President Jose, constantly creating all kinds of negative news for the Christian Democratic Party...

"It's really interesting," Victor confirmed the long-standing suspicion in his heart, stroking his chin and thinking.
