Mordequeo Tóchez, Minister Counselor of the Embassy of El Salvador in Washingtonin charge of business affairs, investment issues and trade at the embassy, spoke with Cointelegraph in Spanish about the work that the Salvadoran government has been doing to deploy the use and adoption of Bitcoin among the citizens of his country and those who want to approach from the United States.
Tóchez described the work that they have been doing from the embassy as one that not only has to do with seeking investment, but also with the search for communities to train Salvadorans, since many people come from abroad for Bitcoin.
He also described as an interesting topic about the change that the country has had since the legalization of Bitcoin and the fact that some even want to return, in his opinion the decision of President Bukele has completely rebranded the Central American country, and has excited to the people. “It is incredible that now they identify us in a different way, that is what encourages us to continue working, and so that as an embassy we can be that bridge so that the people of El Salvador return to their homelands in a calm way, in a way of who feels calm that their money will be safe here ”, said.
Secondly, Tóchez also spoke about the very varied vision in which Americans saw the legalization of Bitcoin by their country. “They are and not in favor, but the country is a sovereign country and the president of the republic has made a decision for the benefit of his people that decision must be respected”he expressed.
“We are not closed to the circulation of the dollar, what we have created is an opportunity so that Bitcoin can also act”he added.
Finally, The business representative of the Salvadoran embassy in the USA took the opportunity to respond to the bad publicity that they have wanted to give to the economic policies of the Salvadoran government. “Recently, many journalists talk about how many millions of dollars were lost when nothing was really lost, it is a lack of education in which people must be educated and understand that this is the future and that if they do not get on this train will be left behind”Torques pointed out that He also confessed to believing that they will be a better nation than Singapore in relation to the many comparisons the president of the republic has made with the Asian nation.
