The social consequences of the two earthquakes that we have suffered cannot be measured immediately with the official figures published by the emergency agencies.
In short, the real impact on Salvadoran society of this long seismic crisis can be assessed in its true dimension in a long time and after exhaustive studies. Reconstruction is not only economic; it means taking into account all aspects of society as a whole.
There are many elements that cannot be recovered, such as the one thousand and eighty deaths according to the official figures and the countless disappeared. The current crisis is interpreted as the possibility of a change to improve the social reality of the country.
This idea is positive, of course, but it does not mean ignoring the deep causes of reality. There is a serious situation that in economic terms will have the cost of several generations to raise the country.
In social terms, the crisis has poured into the public arena aspects that were kept silent in the Tom Thumb of America: the political, economic and social exclusion in which an important part of the population remains.
