How Salvador became the largest prison
Before the Buhlet came to power in 2019 in Salvador, there was an extremely high level of organized crime. So, due to the confrontation between local criminal gangs in 2015, one person was killed in the country for about every hour. For that year, 6656 killings were committed in Salvador, which made the country the second of the most deadly in the world. Nine years later, in 2024, in Salvador they recorded a record -based low murder indicator - 114 victims per year. Then the second presidential term of the book began.
March 26, 2022 in Salvador 62 people died in shootouts of street gangs. The booker announced a state of emergency - this gave the right to detain suspects without a warrant. Since then, more than 83 thousand people have been in prisons, most of them were concluded without legal procedures. In a country where 6.5 million people live, it is 1.8% of the population. In 2024, the book said that eight thousand innocent were released. In fact, there can be much more innocent behind bars - up to a third of all detainees. More than a hundred people died behind bars. Repression continues, which contributes to the migration crisis: many Salvador: Ki are looking for refuge abroad, in particular, in the USA.
Since 2022, the fight against crime includes the repeated thirty -day emergency provisions, during which the freedom of assembly is limited and the authorities of the police are expanding significantly. For a thousand days, the situation was extended 33 times.
In 2024, Amnesty International documented that the local police deliberately discriminated against certain groups of citizens. For example, the reason for the detention could be the presence of tattoos, and raids were mainly carried out in poor areas. In more than 60 cases, human rights activists: Tsy did not find decisions or investigations that justify the arrests. With the book, anonymous denunciations of the “hot line”, leading to real prison terms, spread .
In 2023, Salvador opened the largest prison in Latin America for 40 thousand prisoners.
The prison of Sekot is isolated in rural areas near the capital of San Salvador. There is no room for recreation in the open air and are not allowed to visit: c. Megatourm, as she was nicknamed , became the place of pilgrimage to the right, populist: K. Politicians arrive to study the methods of the book and make a selfie near the cameras filled with tattooed prisoners. In 2025, Salvador became the world leader in the number of prisoners per hundred thousand inhabitants: NIC - 1824 people.
ONE: Oy of influential politicians: ECS, who visited the MEGATURAM Book, was the security minister of Argentina Patricia Bullrich. Despite the relatively low crime rate in her country, Bullrich expressed interest in “adaptation of the model of the book”: “This is the path. A hard approach to crime. Freedom to honest Argentine: Kam, ” the minist said enthusiastically, posing at the prison cameras. Later, during mass protests in Argentina, she said that citizens: Ki country in protests “ready to kill”.

Tren de Aragua, unlike other groups, has no tattoos that would actually denote membership in the gang. . Defenders: Tax of several deported claims claim that tattoos were incorrectly interpreted as a symbol of belonging to the Venezuelan gang. These people were sent to sekt for a year, but the deadline can be extended, according to the book of the book. The US government paid Salvador about six million dollars for receiving deported.
What other decisions of the book caused criticism?
- In 2021, the book became the first president in the world to offer Bitcoin as the official currency of the country (before it was the US dollar). The measure was to attract investments and strengthen the economy of Salvador. But in the end, only about 8% of the resident: the Salvador was used by Bitcoin at least once in 2024, and only 1% of all money transfers were carried out through cryptocurrency. Expert: KI consider an experiment with bitcoin unsuccessful, noting high costs and poor training. By 2024, the country's public debt reached 96% of GDP. In October 2021, thousands of people about 15 thousand people went to the action against the book. In the capital with posters: “Bitcoin is fraud” and “democracy is not subject to negotiations, it must be protected.” Protesters even destroyed the Bitcoin Banklkomat installed in the city.
- The book also promised to build Bitcoin City and mines cryptocurrency using the thermal energy of the country's volcanoes. “Bitcoin City”, which the book, imagines as an economic center without taxes, demanded the construction of the airport to get there an international investor: Ki and crypto entrepreneur: nits. For its construction, 225 local families were evicted from the region. Builder: Nits also destroyed mangroves, which are at the risk of extinction.
- The presidential administration promoted laws that harm the ecology, for example, increased financing of construction projects by one billion dollars. Also in 2024, a ban was canceled in Salvador In 2017, Salvador became the world's first country to fully prohibit the extraction of fossil metals within the country. The decision of the authorities was preceded by a large -scale public campaign - numerous mining production polluted water by harmful chemicals. By 2017, about 90% underground water were polluted, which is critical for a country with disabilities and the highest population density in Latin America. For mineral mining, adopted in 2017 - this was the world's first similar project, which resulted in the result of a long -term struggle of eco -active: K. At the same time, in 2017, almost 80% of citizens supported the ban: OK. The extraction of minerals has destructive consequences for rivers: heavy metals fall into sources of water supply and water supply of agricultural crops. In 2024, the Bookulea administration pursued five eco -active: K, accusing them of an “illegal unification”.
- In Salvador, one of the most strict laws in the world is still in effect against abortion: this procedure is prohibited under any circumstances, women can be charged with a murder for which a prison term is provided. The bookel has repeatedly stated that he did not intend to change the current law on abortion.
How does the book rest in power?
The president’s government takes measures to limit the possibilities of the opposition. Reforms of 2023 reduced the number of seats in the Legislative Assembly from 84 to 60 and reduced the number of municipalities from 262 to 44. In February 2025, the system was canceled This mechanism was aimed at promoting the independence of political parties by distributing state resources based on real votes received by each batch in the elections. The results in previous elections determined the resources that each party received as an advance for its campaigns, and the final amount they had the right to, was based on the actual voices received in each election (and the obligation to return funding if their results in the elections fell below previous levels). State financing of parties, which especially negatively affected the opposition.
The presidential term will last until May 2029. Salvador’s constitution was prohibited by the president of immediate re -election: Ki, however, the book, got the opportunity to run for a second term thanks to the decision of the Constitutional Court of the country (although it contradicts the previous interpretations of the Constitution). The composition of the judges was changed after the party came to power Nuevas Ideas The current president founded the New Ideas party in 2017. Now the majority (57 out of 60) places in parliament are occupied. in 2021.
After the end of the Civil War in 1992, multi -party democracy was established in Salvador with a virtually bicaparty system: the authorities of the Right Party of Arena The conservative, nationalist party, its members occupied the presidential chair from 1989 to 2009. Alternately replaced by the power of the left party of FMLN Left-Democratic Party, a former partisan militarized organization. Before the Buyle came to power, FMLN entered the government for nine years and received a noticeable representative office in parliament (35 out of 84 seats according to the results of the 2009 elections). But with the book, FMLN lost a political mission. .
It continued from 1979 to 1992 and was one of the most bloody conflicts in Latin America of the 20th century. It flared up against the backdrop of mass poverty and inequality - most of the country's land property was concentrated in the hands of elites.
Then the left -winging coalition of the rebels (from which later the combat organization and the future party FMLN developed Left-Democratic Party, a former partisan militarized organization. Before the Buyle came to power, FMLN entered the government for nine years and received a noticeable representative office in parliament (35 out of 84 seats according to the results of the 2009 elections). But with the book, FMLN lost a political mission. ) I fought against the government, which was supported by the American authorities, fearing the growth of the influence of communism in the region. The war was accompanied by cruel repression, massacres (about 75 thousand people, most of them are civilians) and human rights violations from both sides.
In 1992, the parties signed peace agreements through the mediation of the UN. This led to the disarmament of FMLN and its transformation into a legal political party, as well as to reform the army, police and the judicial system.
However, after the book came to power in 2019 (it ran from the Gana party The right party that arose in 2010. Most of its members left the Conservative Arena Party. ) The president began to strengthen sole control. For example, in 2020, the book became financing his operation against crime bypassing parliament, bringing 400 armed soldiers to the vote for the project. Now in the country's parliament, the opposition is represented only by three people: two from Arena and one deputy from the VAMOS party The Central Liberal Party, founded in 2017. .
