Reborn American Giants

In the quiet coffee shop, there were only a few tables of customers and a few waiters hiding at the U-shaped bar. While wiping cups and the smooth counters, they poked their heads and looked at a table of customers not far away.

"What do you mean?" Victor was stunned subconsciously by Heraidi's words, and then thought of many questions.

"Actually, this idea has been in my mind for a long time," Heredi said straightforwardly after sitting down again: "...I hope to unite a group of like-minded comrades to form a brand new political party, and then use the opposition party's

Methods, adding to the political ecology, the ultimate goal is to reverse the current bad political atmosphere in the country, what do you think?"

…

Victor took a deep breath, this was an "invitation" that he needed to consider carefully.

Today, the main parties in the National Assembly of El Salvador include the Christian Democratic Party, the Nationalist Republican Alliance, the National Unity Alliance and the National Reconciliation Party.

Among them, the Christian Democratic Party, as the majority party, firmly controls the parliament with 39 seats, followed by the Nationalist Republican Alliance with 29 seats, becoming the largest opposition party. The remaining

The sixteen seats were divided among the remaining parties.

Now, according to Heredi, he wants to re-form an opposition party outside the Christian Democratic Party and the Nationalist Republican Alliance, and then use party politics to legally seize power in this country.

To a certain extent, this idea seems very tempting, and under "certain" circumstances, it also has a high possibility of success.

Since Jose Napoleon Duarte implemented political reforms, El Salvador has become a relatively centralized presidential system, and the domestic political rules of the game are conducted in a relatively "democratic" manner.

The election of the country's president does not rely specifically on the recommendation of a certain political party, but is elected through the vote of all citizens.

In addition, although the National Assembly is a representative body with separation of powers, it can decide many major events in the country and check and balance the power of the president in the form of legislation.

But checks and balances are checks and balances, not control, and the president cannot bow to the parliament.

Although the "El Salvador Constitution" stipulates that the president has the right to dissolve the National Assembly and re-elect under certain circumstances, this is similar to that of independent Russia after the disintegration of later generations.

Later Yeltsin took charge of the Kremlin and had several conflicts with the State Duma, Russia's parliamentary body, and even dissolved the parliament.

What is the final result?

After several re-elections, the State Duma, which is firmly controlled by the opposition parties, has never compromised with the Kremlin.

Therefore, from this aspect, the Parliament cannot affect the powers of the President, and conversely, the President cannot affect the policies of the Parliament.

The two have reached a delicate balance of power.

For Heredi, if he wants to leverage the core of power in San Salvador and want to stand up and dominate the main direction of the political situation in El Salvador, then the only solution is to find a breakthrough, a breakthrough that can give the Independence Palace

A breach that creates a bigger wound.

Naturally, the choice for this breakthrough was the Palace of the National Assembly.

Before he started participating in this game, Victor had considered that military dictatorship is a very sensitive topic in Latin America today.

With the advent of the information age, people can more easily receive a variety of information from the outside world, and their own desire to pursue democracy and freedom will be unprecedentedly high.

Even if Victor seizes state power by relying on his own strength, he may have to pay the due price for what he did "today" a few years later.

He didn't want to wait until he was seventy or eighty to have to live in exile abroad like a bereaved dog.

But with the political party as a backing, it's another situation.

If Victor is a member of a political party, or even the leader of a political party, then he has a very reasonable identity in the process of obtaining national rights.

At the same time, politicians who join this party have a problem of common interests.

Even if something goes wrong with Victor one day in the future, in order to save their political lives, the entire party members will work together to prevent the state agencies from investigating them.

Therefore, this is why Victor chose to join the Christian Democratic Party.

Now, facing Heredi's invitation, adhering to the policy of paying attention to everything and not putting eggs in one basket, Victor must consider an issue in a deeper way.

That is, if the party envisioned by Heredi is established and appears in a legitimate manner in front of the two largest parties today, the Christian Democratic Party and the Nationalist Republican Alliance, it will inevitably involve the issue of party leadership.

.

Who will serve as the top leader of the party? Who is also called the spiritual leader of the party group? Who will come forward to control personnel issues within the party? Who is responsible for reconciling the interests and contradictions of all aspects within the party? The main program of the party, the goal of struggle,

There are a series of complicated problems that need to be solved in the formulation of administrative policies and so on.

In this process, what position will Victor, as a relatively well-known political star in San Salvador, find himself in?

Furthermore, as the actual controller of a series of organizations and companies such as the Greif family, Green Bay Bank, and Green Bay Energy, Victor himself is wealthy. Not surprisingly, except for the people in the small group around him, others

Members of the party will have certain scruples about him.

And there is also the issue of Vice President Amfilo...

Putting all these factors together, Victor estimates that if he joins the new party formed by Heredi, the only possibility is to become a "party fund provider". He may have some real power, but compared to now

, the political status is probably not improved much.

To put it more bluntly, if Victor accepts Heredi's invitation, he will become the most powerful tool in his hands to control the new party.

He used the financial resources in Victor's hands to easily unite a political force that was dissatisfied with the current Independence Hall.

What is wishful thinking? This is the wishful thinking that Heredi is most proficient in as a politician.

With few benefits and many troubles, what decision will Victor make?

He refused Heraidi's invitation and devoted himself to Amfilo's ship from then on.

Of course this is not possible, regardless of whether Victor's worries will come true. Even if Heredi really treats him as a "cash machine", Victor must obviously make the necessary compromises.

Because Victor is deeply aware of a problem, that is, in today's environment, no matter which country it is in, the centralization of power by one person is no longer realistic. In more cases, and under safer circumstances, the centralization of power by an interest group

Centralization is the most feasible.

So, since the power of the country is dominated by an interest group, it will inevitably involve the issue of power distribution within a group.

With his current strength, he has no illusions about being the "number one person in the country" for the time being, but he still needs to be able to exert maximum influence on the country's political and economic decisions.

In this case, he doesn't care how much money Herredi takes from him.

As long as he brings something in exchange for it.
