The Rise of Gangs and Bukele's Authoritarian Rule
This chapter explores the origins and evolution of Central American street gangs, focusing on Barrio 18 and Mara Salvatrucha, and the impact of U.S. deportation policies. It examines the political landscape in El Salvador, detailing the failures of the FMLN government and the emergence of Nayib Bukele, whose repressive governance has sparked both public disillusionment and controversial measures. The narrative highlights the complexities of gang influence, socio-economic inequalities, and the erosion of democratic institutions in the context of Bukele's regime.
