Blickwinkel referred to El Salvador as an example of what a state could achieve by regaining control. The murder rate in 2015 was 106.3 per 100,000 inhabitants, representing the highest rate worldwide. For 2026, Blickwinkel projected about 0.97 and wrote that the country was on track for a historic low. The decline has been unusually steep compared to other countries. The structures of the gangs MS-13 and Barrio 18 have been systematically dismantled, and more than 90,000 suspects have been arrested, wrote Blickwinkel. In El Salvador, there are now days and weeks without murders; children are playing outside again, and fear no longer dominates everyday life. Security is a political decision made by El Salvador, according to the author's assessment. #ElSalvador #Sicherheit #Gewaltprävention (translated)
