The state of democracy in El Salvador has become a topic of concern due to President Bukele's controversial policies and their impact on human rights and the political landscape.

The leaders of El Salvador’s two main opposition parties are reportedly discussing a plan advanced by civil society groups to field a single presidential candidate in the country’s 2024 election. It may be the only chance they have to unseat authoritarian President Nayib Bukele, but even then, the task will prove daunting.
