El Salvador abrirá el 2026 bajo régimen de excepción, rumbo a cuarto año de vigencia
El Salvador iniciará el 2026 bajo un régimen de excepción, tras la aprobación en el Congreso de una nueva prórroga impulsada por el partido oficialista, una medida vigente desde 2022 que ha marcado la estrategia de seguridad del Gobierno de Nayib Bukele y que sigue generando fuertes cuestionamientos por violaciones a derechos humanos
TL;DR
- The state of exception in El Salvador has been extended by Congress, now set to continue into 2026.
- This measure, active since March 2022, was implemented due to a rise in gang violence.
- The government reports over 90,600 arrests and claims "1,090 days without homicides" under this regime.
- Human rights groups have documented over 6,400 complaints, citing arbitrary detentions and torture, and at least 470 reported deaths of detainees.
- The extension was approved by the ruling party Nuevas Ideas and its allies, despite ongoing human rights criticisms.
