Question:
Salvadoran Government to Privatize Water Service ?

Answer: Carrillo stressed that municipal governments have neither necessary funds nor capacity to move forward such delicate problem, as it is the drinking water service.

The human rights defender said that before making the transfer to its municipal authorities, the government should economically support them.

The president of El Salvador, Antonio Saca, should first promote hydraulic projects to benefit the population before leading the drinking water service to bankruptcy.

Carillo warned that protests carried out in some municipalities on Saturday, including in San Salvador capital, showed that the population does not stand anymore the government's mistakes, which she called maneuvers to benefit private companies.
