Integration in Central America is not an easy matter. It is true that considerable progress has been made since the 1990s, but a series of crises such as the one in Nicaragua, the migratory crisis, and also the health crisis caused by the COVID pandemic have created too many obstacles. How to reinvigorate this integration that seems basic to face joint challenges in a context of increasing authoritarianism in the region?
The Ortega regime in Nicaragua, the new model as popular as it is controversial of Bukele in El Salvador, waves of persecution of justice in Guatemala and freedom of information in general. These are some of the multiple realities that make up a complicated region that needs political will and leadership to advance in that integration. ANDl Salvador has the presidency of SICA, Central America Integration System,until the end of the year and wants to emphasize the insecurity that exists in the region. The call “Bukele model” as popular as it is controversial, can it be advocated to relaunch the integration of other countries?
