Municipal and Central American Parliamentary Elections take place today in El Salvador following resounding denouncements from across the political spectrum of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal for having abdicated their responsibility to the governing party.  

Days after their speeches at the far-right Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) conference held outside of Washington, D.C., Nayib Bukele and Argentinian President Javier Milei launched what seems to be a coordinated attack on LGBTI+ communities. While Milei’s announcement focused on banning inclusive gender language in the government, Bukele’s government removed all mention of gender and sexual diversity from schools and public healthcare clinics.

Following widespread irregularities and denouncements of fraud, official election results show that electoral changes disproportionately hurt the leftist FMLN, leaving them with no legislative seats for the first time since the end of the armed conflict.
