2025 Elections: Xiomara Castro’s Big Test

CENTRAL AMERICA IN MINUTES, Ep. 10: In 2024, Bernardo Arévalo failed to remove the Guatemalan attorney general from office, the Salvadoran press published evidence that Nayib Bukele’s family is acquiring significant assets, and Central American leaders eyed Donald Trump’s return for political gain. In 2025, U.S. immigrants’ organizations plan to again turn to religious organizations to fight Trump deportations and expect DACA to eventually be struck down. In Central America, Nayib Bukele expresses interest in pursuing the press and the November elections will test Xiomara Castro’s democratic commitment. El Faro English translates Central America.
