Life

Roberto Edmundo Canessa's family cultivated coffee in Santiago de María. In 1945 Roberto Edmundo Canessa was chairman of the Asociación Cafetalera de El Salvador and initiated the establishment of the Federación Cafetalera de América (FEDECAME). With 14 members, it achieved a fixed coffee price and, unlike the name, also included coffee cartels from Africa among its members. From September 14, 1950 to December 10, 1954 in the government of Óscar Osorio Hernández , Roberto Edmundo Canessa was Foreign Minister. In 1956 he founded the Partido de Acción Nacional, (PAN) and applied to run against Colonel José María Lemus López of the PRUD for the office of President of the Republic. The Concejo Central de Elecciones refused Roberto Edmundo Canessa entry in the electoral register for the presidency. In a defamation campaign he was accused of being a conspirator and a communist and of having embezzled an inheritance for a hospital. On September 4, 1960, he was arrested by the police and subjected to fatal bodily harm by being beaten.

Culture of remembrance

On December 31, 1963 a bust of him was placed in a Santiago de María.
