The president of the Defensoría del Consumidor, Ricardo Salazar explained that they are working intensively in an inter-institutional effort with the Foreign Ministry and the Vice Ministry of Diaspora and Human Mobility, in order to provide the best attention, which is fast and timely. "The fact that they are migrants does not mean that they have lost their rights", stated the head of the Defensoría del Consumidor.

Salazar also noted that the digital kiosk aims to provide the Diaspora with assistance, information and timely protection by the Defensoría del Consumidor, and prevent compatriots from being abused and fraudulent as consumers.

Cindy Portal, vice minister of Diaspora and Human Mobility, also indicated that this initiative seeks timely protection to prevent the diaspora from being victims of abuse and fraud as consumers, when purchasing products or services in El Salvador.

Other places abroad where these kiosks are located are the salvadoran consulates in the United States, in the cities of: Boston, Los Angeles, Duluth, Elizabeth, Houston, Long Island and Silver Spring.

It is also expected that in the coming days the same service will be offered in Madrid, Spain and other cities in the United States.
