		Saca, 39 and the grandson of Palestinian immigrants, has shown sympathy for Palestinian causes, but he was the favored candidate of El Salvador's small Jewish community in part because he is seen as being less likely to move the embassy in Israel.
		Kahn said Saca faces ``pressure from his paisanos'' to move the embassy, and that if El Salvador is left as the only country with an embassy in Jerusalem it likely would have to move it.
		Saca aides with ties to the Arab community speculate that Saca personally would like to move the embassy but probably will not abandon Jerusalem unless conditions change to the point where a Salvadoran move would not attract as much attention.

		Saca y sus compañeros, y eso, con reticencias, accedieron a negociar subidas salariales de entre el 5 y el 10%, incremento muy inferior al demandado por los sindicatos pero que éstos tuvieron que aceptar porque la ANEP advirtió que un alza general media del 25% desembocaría en “despidos masivos”.
		Saca encontró, por tanto, allanado el camino para ser endosado candidato en la convención del 13 de julio, teniendo como único rival a Quintanilla, que no demostró ser tal: con el 98% de los votos, el neófito en política arrasó al vicepresidente de la República y convirtió la primaria en una aclamación por práctica unanimidad.

		Saca’s ambition is to become the President of this country, and in order to reach that position, he needs to create an attractive, a nice, and a popular image for himself.
		No one is saying that if Saca wins the presidency will stop being a person who is close to the Salvadoran population –to their needs, their priorities, and to their problems-, an image that the propaganda launched by ARENA and several news media have created.
		It is necessary to remember that when Flores was a candidate he had the same image that Saca has now: pleasant –he was called “Paquito” even by those who do not sympathize with the right wing-, close to the people, and concerned about the most critical social problems.
