The Government of Spain congratulates the Government and the people of El Salvador for the canonization of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero carried out yesterday, according to a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The communiqué indicates that the calls to dialogue and understanding, and in favor of the most disadvantaged, of the former archbishop of San Salvador, who was assassinated in 1980 when he was giving mass, “transcend the religious sphere, give this Salvadoran figure a universal dimension and impel us to work for fairer, more inclusive and peaceful societies”.
