SAN SALVADOR, April 17 (NNN-PRENSA LATINA) — Authorities in El Salvador reported 76 days without homicides since the beginning of 2023, something that President Nayib Bukele highlighted on social networks.
Government reports specified that in April there were already 13 days without murders attributed to gangs, which added to 22 in January, 21 in February and 20 in March, makes a total of 76, a success, according to government spokesmen, for the Territorial Control Plan and the exception regime extended last week for the thirteenth time.
To the ‘international community’: Show me just one security plan in the world that has had these results and we will switch to that one.
Just one, Bukele wrote on social networks. In a message last week, the president stressed that “El Salvador’s achievements in security are unprecedented in the modern history of humanity,” something that is attested to by 345 days without gang homicides. Prior to this the country was a reference point in the world for violence.
A few days ago, the Minister of Security, Gustavo Villatoro, highlighted a notorious decrease, according to him to zero, of the impunity index, when in the past it was 97 percent of the cases.
On the subject, he highlighted the previous day the imposition of high prison sentences for those accused of crimes within the gangs. — NNN-PRENSA LATINA
