Expert analysis

An excerpt; the full analysis opens on request.

Context

El Salvador's Legislative Assembly re-elected Delgado as attorney general in December 2024 for another three-year term. (Source: La Prensa Gráfica — 2024-12-23 (opens in a new tab).)

His original 2021 appointment followed the legislature's removal of the previous attorney general and Constitutional Chamber judges, a sequence that Human Rights Watch treats as part of a broader erosion of institutional checks. (Source: Human Rights Watch — 2026 (opens in a new tab).)

Consequences

The central public-interest question around Delgado is prosecutorial independence: whether the attorney general can investigate politically sensitive matters without improper executive or legislative influence.

His re-election preserved continuity in the prosecution service during the government's continuing security crackdown.
