# Bukele launches the Territorial Control Plan

Date: 2019

## The fact

In June 2019 the [Bukele](/people/nayib-bukele) government launched the Territorial Control Plan against gangs.

## Context

PNC and defence sat. Neighbouring exception 2022 is a later, harsher child. He did not sit as every patrol.

1 June oath is the parent. Exception 27 March 2022 is later.

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](/organizations/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.

## Evidence and sources

Presidency of El Salvador carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [social cohesion](/drivers/social-cohesion) and [humanitarian access](/drivers/humanitarian-access): a completed security-plan launch is a dated neighbourhood-control instrument, remaining later exception named.

## What is established and what is not

Established: June 2019 TCP launch, independently reported.

Not established: that gangs were thereby dismantled in 2019, or that the 2022 exception never sat.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

PNC and the army implemented. Gangs still sat. A later exception is a different date.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Bukele launches the Territorial Control Plan, not a later speech about Bukele launches the Territorial Control Plan.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Bukele launches the Territorial Control Plan on 2019-06-20 is not a licence to treat every later Presidency of El Salvador communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Bukele launches the Territorial Control Plan into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He launched TCP. PNC and the army implemented. Gangs still sat. A later exception is a different date. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
