El Salvador y Colombia: de la apuesta al modelo carcelario o la persecusión militar. Una vision tras dos procesos de paz cuestionados por la impunidad

Abstract

This work will show how El Salvador has traveled a path full of challenges. Throughout history, the country has faced different events that have hit its inhabitants, civil wars, natural disasters and economic crises. However, as a result of our visit to this country, a great capacity to rise and rebuild itself despite the obstacles was evident; the country continues to advance towards a more prosperous and equitable future. Between 1890 and 1931, El Salvador was shaken by an incessant struggle for power. An oligarchy made up of large coffee, sugar and cotton farm owners, together with financial entrepreneurs, monopolized both the economy and politics. However, this concentration of power did not guarantee political stability. On the contrary, the country plunged into a period of profound revolutions. Coups d'état became a common practice, leading to civil wars. In order to carry out this research, a qualitative method was used with data that were analyzed and interpreted subjectively, since it seeks to understand the meaning behind the experiences that occurred in El Salvador. As a result of the research, it was possible to determine that even though there was a peace process that culminated a stage of violence, it was not entirely equitable for all inhabitants given the cases that are still pending in the justice system awaiting resolution, but with more shades of impunity.
