Reforms? Sure, but...
El Salvador's Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which knows that the country's certain success or failure depends on the future of its economic order, declares the following:

1. The opinion publicly endorsed by this Chamber regarding the structural reforms which  the last de facto governmental regime enacted clearly established that the Chamber did not object to just and beneficial changes which represented substantial gains for the Salvadoran people and economic progress for the nation. It opposed anti-technological and property-seizing efforts inspired by class resentment, since these changes would have been conducive to nothing more than a hindrance to El Salvador's productive capabilities, leading to inevitable suffering throughout the whole country.

[...]

4. Given the negative effects of the Agrarian Reform’s first phase, which we could call catastrophes, it would be against all principles of reason, against all norms of prosperous economies, and against all aims to revitalize the country to leave the roots of the new structural reforms within the Constitution of the Republic, knowing that they have been conducive to a national disaster of incalculable magnitude. We have already seen that the economic sacrifice imposed on our people through these changes not only failed to fulfill its promise to benefit the population, but also failed to reduce violence and foster social harmony. What was supported by theory has been disproven by practice, and the reforms—particularly for the agricultural economy—have neither created nor distributed any wealth. Rather, they have wrought poverty upon all Salvadoran campesino families.
