The year 2024 is considered the safest year in El Salvador

San Salvador, Nov 29 (Prensa Latina) The year 2024 stands as the safest in the history of El Salvador, surpassing the 247 days without homicides for all of 2023, authorities said.

Meanwhile, the month of November reached 24 days without murders attributable to gangs to achieve a top only exceeded by the 27 days achieved in October.

“We ended Thursday, November 28, with 0 homicides in the country,” the National Civil Police (PNC) said on its Twitter account.

Official forecasts indicate that the country will record a homicide rate of less than two per 100,000 inhabitants, some estimate it will be 1,5, which would surpass the 2,4 marked in 2023.

That result is attributed to the implementation of the Territorial Control Plan (PCT) and the emergency regime approved 32 times and that, although President Nayib Bukele promised at some point its elimination, Salvadorans said in a CID Gallup poll this week that its repeal would endanger their lives.
