💨 Abstract

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, once a political outsider, has gained significant power and popularity, prompting concerns from critics and the opposition. Bukele's party controls the legislature, which has approved reforms allowing him to extend his rule. Analysts warn that the political environment favors Bukele, who has consolidated power by ousting judicial opponents and securing reelection despite controversial measures.
