  • Se Cumplen Vaticinios En Elecciones En El Salvador
    Se cumplen vaticinios en elecciones en El Salvador Reuters. Por María Josefina Arce El presidente de El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, tiene libre el camino para extender su poder. Tal y como vaticinaban las encuestas, Nuevas Ideas, el partido que ayudó a conformar, se impuso ampliamente en las elecciones legislativas y municipales de este domingo. De acuerdo con resultados preliminares, esa organización y su aliada Gran Alianza por la Unidad Nacional, que llevó a Bukele al poder en 2019, dominarán el Congreso, en manos hasta el momento de la oposición y que había sido en cierta medida un freno para las autoritarias acciones del presidente. El ultraderechista ARENA, Alianza Republicana Nacionalista, y el izquierdista FMLN, Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional, no pudieron retener el control del órgano legislativo. Los dos partidos que habían dominado la escena política del país centroamericano, tras la firma de los acuerdos de paz de 1992, sufrieron un marcado revés, reflejo de un desgaste en los últimos años. Ahora poco detendrá al presidente que extiende su poder y que podrá incidir en los nombramientos en la Fiscalía, la Corte Suprema y la Contraloría, con las que ha tenido serias desavenencias. Con la actual Corte Suprema, por ejemplo, ha tenido varios enfrentamientos, al negarse a cumplír sus dictámenes de poner fin a sus métodos extremos de detener a quienes violaran los confinamientos por la COVID 19. Para el catedrático Oscar Picardo, director de la Unidad de Investigaciones de la Universidad Francisco Gavidia, citado por la agencia noticiosa Prensa Latina, la mayoría ganada por el oficialismo en la Asamblea Legislativa amenaza el balance entre los poderes legislativo, ejecutivo y judicial.

See the methodology. TOP https://freedomhouse.org/country/el-salvador/freedom-world/2020 1/20 4/30/2020 El Salvador | Freedom House Status Change El Salvador’s status declined from Free to Partly Free because criminal groups continue to commit acts of violence and intimidation against politicians, ordinary citizens, and religious congregants, and because the justice system has been hampered by obstruction and politicization. Overview Elections in El Salvador are largely credible and free. However, corruption is a serious problem that undermines democracy and rule of law, and violence remains a grave problem. Authorities have pursued a harsh, militarized response to the country’s gangs, resulting in allegations of abuse. The country has a lively press and civil society sector, though journalists risk harassment and violence in connection with work related to gang activity or corruption. Key Developments in 2019 Nayib Bukele, the Grand Alliance for National Unity (GANA) candidate, was elected president in the first round of voting in February, easily defeating the long-dominant Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA) and Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) parties. Bukele became the first third-party candidate to win the presidency since the end of the civil war in 1992. In August, President Bukele stopped asylum seekers aiming to present their cases at the US border from traveling through the country, despite warnings from rights groups that El Salvador’s pervasive violence made it an unsuitable third country for asylum seekers.

United Nations-brokered Peace Accords officially brought the years of violence to an end in 1992 and 1996, respectively. As the two countries slowly emerged from their respective Cold War-inspired internal conflicts, the question of what place the past would have in the present came to the fore.

LADB Article Id: 80548 ISSN: 1089-1560 El Salvador’s Governing Party Hammered in Midterm Elections by Benjamin Witte-Lebhar Category/Department: El Salvador Published: 2018-03-15 Salvador Sánchez Cerén’s final year as president of El Salvador promises to be a particularly difficult one following nationwide legislative and municipal elections that saw his party, the leftist Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front, FMLN), lose significant ground to the hard-right Alianza Republicana Nacionalista (Nationalist Republican Alliance, ARENA). The midterm elections held March 4 were the second to take place since Sánchez Cerén—a guerrilla commander during the country’s dozen-year civil war (1980-1992)—squeezed into the presidency in 2014. And like the previous parliamentary and city elections, in March 2015, the results were deeply disappointing for a president and party desperate to shore up their tenuous hold on power. Three years ago, the FMLN lost a handful of seats in the unicameral parliament, the Asamblea Legislativa (AL) but at least regained control of San Salvador, El Salvador’s capital and largest city, for the first time in six years (NotiCen, March 12, 2015, and April 16, 2015).
