Nuevas Ideas (Spanish for New Ideas; abbreviated N or NI) is a Salvadoran political party. The party was founded on 25 October 2017 by Nayib Bukele, the then-mayor of San Salvador, and was registered by the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) on 21 August 2018. The party's current president is Xavier Zablah Bukele, a cousin of Bukele who has served since March 2020.

Although Nuevas Ideas was formed before the 2019 presidential election, it was not legally registered as a political party in time to run a candidate. As such, Bukele ran for president as a member of the Grand Alliance for National Unity (GANA), but he continued to use Nuevas Ideas branding throughout his campaign. He won the election with 53 percent of the vote and assumed office on 1 June 2019, becoming the first president in 30 years to not be a member of the country's two largest political parties: the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA) or the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN). During the 2021 legislative election, Nuevas Ideas won a supermajority in the Legislative Assembly, winning 56 of 84 seats. The party also won 152 of the country's 262 municipalities and 14 of the country's 20 seats in the Central American Parliament (PARLACEN).

For the upcoming 2024 general election, Bukele has announced that he is running for re-election and Nuevas Ideas leadership has stated that the party aims to win 70 seats in the Legislative Assembly. Prior to the election, the Nuevas Ideas-led Legislative Assembly passed a law to allow Salvadoran expatriates to vote in the election. The party is also looking into reducing the seat count of the Legislative Assembly and reducing the number of municipalities in the country.

The party has rejects both left and right-wing labels, with Bukele portraying the party as a Third Way. Meanwhile, Bukele himself has been described as a conservative and has been supported by conservatives abroad. The party's primary platform is combatting corruption. Nuevas Ideas has been described as a Bukelist political party, following Bukele's political ideology. According to Anna-Catherine Brigida and Mary Beth Sheridan of The Washington Post, the party is "based more on his [Bukele's] image and performance than on a traditional political ideology". Jonathan Blitzer of The New Yorker described Nuevas Ideas government officials as being united in their loyalty to Bukele. Óscar Picardo Joao of El Faro described the party as a cult of Bukele's personality.

The party's primary color is cyan and its secondary color is white. Its logo is a capital letter N, sometimes called the "the N of Nayib" ("la N de Nayib"). The party, described as being populist, utilizes social media outlets to communicate with the public and spread propaganda to support the government and oppose the opposition. As of 2019, the party has 507,633 members.[1]

History

Establishment

On 10 October 2017, Nayib Bukele, the then-mayor of San Salvador, was expelled from the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) by its ethics tribunal after he was accused of violating the party's principles and verbally attacking party official Xochilt Marchelli.[2] Five days after he was expelled from the party, Bukele expressed his intention to run for president in the upcoming 2019 presidential election as a member of a new political movement.[3] On 25 October 2017, Bukele announced the establishment of a new political party, Nuevas Ideas (Spanish for "New Ideas"), on social media such as Facebook and YouTube. Bukele stated that the party sought to remove the established political parties—particularly the FMLN and the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA)—from their established power.[4]

Bukele claimed that the political system would seek to hinder his presidential candidacy.[4] Fernando Argíello Téllez, a magistrate of the TSE, believed that it could be viable that the party would be registered in time for the 2019 presidential election, adding that it "does not have any restriction at this moment" ("no tiene ninguna restricción en este momento"). Regardless, the TSE asked the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice if Bukele being expelled from the FMLN, rather than resigning or legally changing political affiliation, would make him a defector and disqualify him from running for public office.[5]

By legal requirement, Nuevas Ideas had to collect 50,000 signatures to be legally registered as a political party by the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE).[5] On 8 May 2018, Nuevas Ideas collected 200,000 signatures within a span of three days and turned in 2,000 books of signatures to the TSE.[6] The TSE accepted 176,076 signatures as valid in late-June 2018,[7] but the party was not legally registered until 21 August 2018.[8] As Bukele believed that the party would not be registered in time for the presidential election, he decided to run for president as a member of Democratic Change (CD), but the TSE disqualified the party as it failed to earn more than 50,000 votes in the 2015 legislative and municipal elections.[9] Bukele then sought to run for president as a member of the Grand Alliance for National Unity (GANA), winning the party's presidential nomination on 29 July 2018.[10]

Although Bukele officially ran for president as a member of GANA, he continued to use Nuevas Ideas branding throughout his campaign.[11] Opinion polling gave Bukele consistent leads against the ARENA and FMLN presidential candidates, with several giving him over 50 percent support.[12] Bukele ultimately won the 2019 election with 53.10 percent of the vote, foregoing the need for a second round.[13] He was inaugurated on 1 June 2019, becoming the first president in 30 years since José Napoleón Duarte left office in 1989 to not be a member of either ARENA or the FMLN.[14]

2021 legislative election

Although Bukele was the country's president, he did not control the Legislative Assembly. The legislature was still controlled by the political opposition, while GANA held 11 seats and Nuevas Ideas held zero seats.[15] In an attempt to secure a US$109 million loan from the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (BCIE) for his security policies, Bukele called for an extraordinary legislative session and sent 40 soldiers into the Legislative Assembly in what was described by the opposition as an "attempted coup".[16]

In July 2020, the party held its primary elections to determine the party's candidates for the upcoming 2021 legislative election. Candidates for the Legislative Assembly, the country's 262 municipalities, and the Central American Parliament (PARLACEN) were elected. The candidates were elected via electronic voting.[17] During the primaries, 150 complaints of fraud were issued alleging that some candidates had purchased chips to register more than one vote. Douglas Rodríguez, the secretary of the party's National Electoral Commission (CNE), confirmed that some candidates had bought chips and validated them.[18] The CNE confirmed that it would seek the identities of candidates involved in buying chips and would hand over cases with sufficient evidence to the party's ethics commission.[17]

In September 2020, the El Faro digital newspaper alleged that Bukele had entered into secret negotiations with Mara Salvatrucha and the 18th Street gang, two of the country's largest criminal gangs, to reduce the country's murder rate and vote for Nuevas Ideas in the 2021 election in exchange for repealing anti-gang laws and relaxing security in prisons. Bukele denied the allegations, saying on Twitter "they accuse us of violating the terrorists' [the gang members'] human rights. Now they say we give them privileges? Show me a privilege. Only one" ("Nos acusan de violar derechos humanos de los terroristas. ¿Ahora dicen que les damos privilegios? Muéstrenme un privilegio. Uno solo"), posting images of gang members in cramped conditions during an April 2020 prison crackdown.[19]

Throughout the 2021 election campaign, various opinion polls gave Nuevas Ideas significant leads over the other political parties, with some polls giving the party well over 60 percent support.[20] Nuevas Ideas formed an electoral coalition with GANA during the 2021 election, and both parties won a combined two-thirds of all votes cast in the election.[15] In total, Nuevas Ideas won 56 seats in the Legislative Assembly, 152 municipalities, and 14 seats in PARLACEN.[21][22][23]

XIII Legislature

The 13th session of the Legislative Assembly began on 1 May 2021. Nuevas Ideas, already holding a majority in the legislature, formed a government with GANA, the National Coalition Party (PCN), and the Christian Democratic Party (PDC).[24] The government held 64 seats in the Legislative Assembly, which some described as a supermajority.[15][25][26][27] Ernesto Castro was elected by Nuevas Ideas and its allies as the president of the Legislative Assembly, with the remaining 20 deputies abstaining.[28]

On the same day the 13th legislative session began, the Nuevas Ideas-led government voted to remove five members of the Supreme Court of Justice's Constitutional Chamber on the basis that the judges had previously issued "arbitrary" decisions. The Legislative Assembly then voted to remove Attorney General Raúl Melara.[29] The judges and attorney general were replaced by supporters of Bukele the following day.[27][30] The event was described by opposition politicians as a coup, a self-coup, and a power grab.[27][29][31][32]

In June 2021, the Legislative Assembly passed a law to make bitcoin legal tender;[33] the law went into effect on 7 September 2021.[34] In October 2021, Bukele and Nuevas Ideas accused two of its deputies in the Legislative Assembly of negotiating with the United States embassy in San Salvador to fracture Nuevas Ideas and oppose Bukele's political agenda.[35] The embassy and both deputies denied the allegations, but both deputies were expelled from the party regardless.[36][37] On 27 March 2022, following a significant spike in homicides in the prior three days, the Legislative Assembly voted to declare a state of exception for thirty days.[38] The state of exception, which has led to a large-scale gang crackdown, has since been extended fourteen times[39] and resulted in 68,579 arrests and up to 152 deaths in custody.[40]

The party's deputies in PARLACEN are affiliated with the Center-Democratic Integration Group (GPICD). Carlos René Hernández Castillo, a member of Nuevas Ideas, serves as the GPICD's leader.[41][42]

2024 elections

On 3 September 2021, the Supreme Court judges who were appointed by Nuevas Ideas in May 2021 ruled that the president of El Salvador is elegible to run for re-election consecutively, making Bukele elegible to run for re-election in the 2024 general election.[43][44] On 15 September 2022, Bukele officially announced that he was seeking re-election in 2024; his announcement was criticized by various lawyers, politicians, and journalists who argued that consecutive re-election violated the country's constitution.[45]

In October 2022, the Nuevas Ideas-led Legislative Assembly passed the Special Law for the Exercise of Suffrage Abroad which allowed Salvadorans living outside of the country to vote in the 2024 elections for the presidency and the Legislative Assembly.[46] In December 2022, Bukele tweeted that he believed that the country's 262 municipalities should be reduced to 50.[47] In February 2023, Castro not only confirmed that Nuevas Ideas was formally looking into reducing the number of municipalities from 262 to 50, but also that they were looking into reducing the seats in the Legislative Assembly from 84 to 64.[48]

The party will hold its primary elections on 2 July 2023.[49] Castro has stated that Nuevas Ideas aims to win 70 seats in the Legislative Assembly.[50]

Ideology

In its party statutes, Nuevas Ideas describes itself as "democratic, decentralized, plural, inclusive, [and] without obsolete ideologies" ("democrático, descentralizado, plural, inclusivo, [y] sin ideologías obsoletas"). It also claims to fight for the rights of all citizens.[51] Nuevas Ideas rejects both left and right-wing labels,[52][53] with Bukele portraying the party as a Third Way.[54][55] Although the party has described itself as being progressive,[56] Bukele himself has been described as a conservative politician,[57][58] while he and his policies have been supported by conservatives abroad, particularly those from the United States.[59][60]

Before the party gained political representation, Nuevas Ideas sought to disrupt what it perceived as the political status quo. The party's primary platform is combatting corruption, clientelism, and cronyism;[61] a common phrase reiterated by Bukele and by Nuevas Ideas is "money is enough when nobody steals" ("el dinero alcanza cuando nadie roba").[62][63] Nuevas Ideas does not have any concrete geopolitical positions regarding favoring relations with the United States or China.[57] The party supports the reunification of Central America.[53]

Nuevas Ideas has been described as a grassroots and populist political party.[64][65] The party utilizes social media—among them, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok—to communicate with and contact the public[61] as well as spread pro-government and anti-opposition propaganda.[57]

Nuevas Ideas has been described as being Bukelist, adhering to Bukele's political ideology and agenda.[56][66][67][68] According to Anna-Catherine Brigida and Mary Beth Sheridan of The Washington Post, the party is "based more on his [Bukele's] image and performance than on a traditional political ideology".[15] Jonathan Blitzer of The New Yorker stated that Nuevas Ideas government officials, which he described as a "mixture of true believers and opportunists", are united in their loyalty to Bukele. He added that a senior United States official remarked that "Bukele is the Party".[69] Óscar Picardo Joao of El Faro described Nuevas Ideas as a "cult of Bukele's personality" ("culto a la personalidad de Bukele"), adding that "[Bukele] is the center of everything, and everything starts from him and revolves around his agenda" ("[Bukele] es el centro de todo, y todo parte de él y gira en torno a su agenda").[57]

Symbols

Nuevas Ideas' primary color is cyan, specifically process cyan, and its secondary color is white. The party officially renders its name Nuevas Ideas in all caps in the Kollektif Bold font. Its logo is a capital letter N, also in the Kollektif Bold font.[51] The party's "N" logo has been sometimes referred to as "the N of Nayib" ("la N de Nayib"), or simply "the N" ("la N"). During Bukele's 2019 presidential campaign, the party also used a logo which was the white silhouette of a swallow.[70]

Party leadership

Although Bukele is the founder and leader of Nuevas Ideas,[71] he does not hold an official position within Nuevas Ideas. The party's leadership structure consists of the presidency, the national council, and the national convention. The presidency holds political, executive, and administrative authority and exerts supervision over party affairs to achieve the party's goals; the national council defines the party's political strategy and ensures organizational functionality; the national convention ensures that all of the party's bodies, leaders, and members abide by its resolutions and agreements. In addition to the party's national leadership structure, Nuevas Ideas has smaller bodies and structures on the country's departmental and municipal levels.[72]

Federico Gerardo Anliker López, a close friend of Bukele, was the party's first president (then known as the secretary-general), serving from 2018 to 2020.[73][74] In March 2020, Anliker was succeeded as the party's president by Xavier Zablah Bukele, a cousin of Bukele. Zablah won the party's internal election with 21,768 votes, defeating Isabel Monje's 2,764 votes and Israel Juárez's 623 votes.[73][75]

The following table lists the party's leadership as of April 2021.[72]

The party's headquarters is located at 21-A. Col. Miramonte on Bernal Avenue and Las Oscuranas Street in San Salvador, the country's capital city.[76]

Influence abroad

On July 2021, Guatemalan lawyer José Luis Araneda Cintrón established a political party bearing Nuevas Ideas' which used its same cyan logo, beginning the process of registering the party with Guatemala's Supreme Electoral Court. Nuevas Ideas denied any association with the Guatemalan political party, and spokesman José Navarro told El Faro that "Nuevas Ideas is only here in El Salvador".[77]

Prior to the 2024 election, various deputies of the Legislative Assembly from Nuevas Ideas held campaign events in the United States to promote Bukele's re-election campaign. Events have been held in Uniondale,[78] Los Angeles,[79] Houston,[80] and New York City.[81]
