In 2023–24 the Bukele government advanced a new Pacific/eastern airport project as infrastructure-industrial policy.
Context
CEPA sat. Neighbouring Surf City is the tourism parent. Neighbouring exception is the security weather. He did not pour every tonne of concrete.
Surf City 2019 is neighbouring. Homicide 2023 is neighbouring security weather.
The President of El Salvador heads the executive, commands the armed forces, and can request a state of exception that the Legislative Assembly must approve and extend. He does not write a Constitutional Chamber judgment by himself, an IMF board decision, or a US Treasury designation. The Assembly, PNC, Fiscalía, and prison service share specific files. A homicide print is not a unique due-process coefficient. Gang membership is not proven by detention alone.
Why it matters
The path is industrial-policy activism: a completed airport-project advance is a dated infrastructure instrument, implementation lag named.

What the sources establish
Presidency of El Salvador carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.
Established: 2023 Pacific Airport project advance, independently reported.
Not established: a unique later passenger series from December, or that Surf City never sat.
CEPA implemented. Contractors sat. Tourism still had a lag.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies The government advances the Pacific Airport project on the eastern coast, not a later speech about The government advances the Pacific Airport project on the eastern coast.
Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He branded and funded the advance. CEPA implemented. Contractors sat. Tourism still had a lag. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
