It seems that El Salvador makes headlines in the US only when it pertains to violence or immigration and lately, a combination of both? Last time the country made major news was May 2021, and the news? The discovery of a mass grave and an ex-cop serial killer in Chalchuapa, a quiet town in the Santa Ana department, not very far from Guatemala. Cristina tells Carmen about Jaqueline Cristina Palomo Lima Cruz, who's death led to the discovery of this mass grave. Just a correction from the episode, Cristina said state of exception, but that was put in place in 2022, the plan territorial control was a sort of predecessor that was still a very hard on crime stance used before the state of exception, but even before then there were a couple of similar laws. When Cristina said state of exception in this episode prior to 2022, it should have been the plan control territorial.Sources for Salvadoran activists mentioned in the episode: Daniel Alvarenga and his substack https://substack.com/@danielalvarengaCISPES https://cispes.org/Cristosal: https://cristosal.org/EN/Podcast: https://radioambulante.org/audio/bukele-senor-de-los-suenosAnother podcast: Humo https://sonoromedia.com/podcasts/humoCarmen and Cristina have also done 3 or 4 episodes going more deep into the other things mentioned on this episode (state of expception. plan territorio control, bukele regime) on their other podcast, you can find it here: https://www.historiasunknown.com/If you have a spooky story to share, email
