After this leader openly endorsed Mike Cargile for California’s 35th district in 2022, he was accused of election interference by representative Norma Torres. A law passed by this leader’s government was inspired by the success of an initiative begun by American surfer Mike Peterson in the town of El Zonte. This leader sent armed soldiers into parliament to force legislators to accept a $109 million U.S. loan in an incident known as 9-F. This leader’s government built the (*) megaprison CECOT as part of an ongoing “state of exception,” which has resulted in his country having the world’s highest incarceration rate. In 2017, this leader founded the party Nuevas Ideas after being expelled from the FMLN.
