Article 1 of the decree established in 2022 by the President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, and the Legislative Assembly of the country, establishes that: \"This decree aims to provide the tools and legal mechanisms to the Public Security institutions, National Civil Police and Armed Forces of El Salvador, to restore order and citizen security and territorial control\".<\/p>\n\n\nThis suspends several constitutional guarantees, including the extension of the provisional detention period, which goes from 72 hours to 15 days<\/strong>, and the intervention of communications without a court order, as established by the decree read during the plenary session.\n\nThis legal tool was implemented after an extreme surge in violence that left 62 homicides in a single day, at the request of the Executive.\n\nSince then, authorities report that the measure has allowed the detention of approximately 87,000 people, as well as the seizure of more than 4,500 firearms, 1,451 vehicles, and more than 21,600 cell phones within the framework of operations against gangs and criminal structures.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
