San Salvador, El Salvador - September 15, 2024

While the government of President Nayib Bukele celebrated the country's 203 years of independence with a colorful civic and military parade on Sunday, opposition groups marched in rejection of the heavy-handed policies and the prolonged state of exception to combat gangs.

The government dedicated the parade to the deceased police director, considering that he led the security strategies to combat the gangs that, according to the authorities, "terrorized" Salvadorans for more than three decades.

More than 2,000 soldiers and police officers were deployed in the area to provide security to those who participated and witnessed the parade.
