President Nayib Bukele declared himself re-elected and became the first president in eight decades to declare his victory for a second term. He controls the three powers of the State, the circuit of judges, the prosecutor's office, the police, the Army and the Supreme Electoral Tribunal.

In two years, he has imprisoned more than 70,000 people through an exceptional regime that allows police officers and soldiers to imprison anyone they suspect of belonging to gangs. The security forces had not enjoyed such impunity since the years of our civil war, when elements of the Army, police and paramilitaries detained, tortured and disappeared thousands.
