Background
Presidential elections occured in El Salvador in November 2019. In the election, former President Adán Tamayo Navarro was declared to have been the winner. He was sworn in on 1 January 2020. On 14 January, a series of protests errupted in Ciudad Los'Ángeles over Tamayo Navarro and his predecessor, Armando Calderón Sol, allowing the National Intelligence Directorate (DINA) to reenter the country following the declaration of martial law in August 2019.[1][2] Tamayo Navarro was assassinated only 16 days into his term on 16 January.[3] He was replaced by his Vice President, Alexander Giammattei Falla.[3] The change in leadership appeased most moderate protestors who only sought a change in government since Tamayo Navarro was a part of a political dynasty that had ruled El Salvador since 1980.[3] However, there were radical protestors who continued to oppose the new government of Giammattei Falla and continued to protest, even demanding full independence from Creeperopolis.[3] Giammattei Falla declared a state of emergency on 19 January.[4] In his declaration, he formally requested the Creeperian Armed Forces to enter El Salvador and put down the radical protestors.[4] The action was approved of by the moderate protestors who were satisfied with the regime change.[4] The Creeperian government gave the protestors until midnight on 21 January to cease protesting and the violence mostly ended by 31 January, but sporadic demonstrations continued following 31 January.[5][6][7]
On 9 April 2020, Giammattei Falla called for a snap election for 12 April to appease the protestors.[8] The protestors demanded a foreign nation should monitor the elections for fairness.[8] Six candidates were declared, four of whom were from the Creeperian Initiative and one of them was Giammattei Falla.[8] The election was postponed to 19 April since no international observer had been declared.[9] It was again postponed on 19 April for the same reason.[10] The Creeperian government official requested the government of Lyoa to be the international monitor for the election to which Lyoa agreed.[10][11] The election occured as planned on 26 April but the results were not released until 7 May when Giammattei Falla was declared thw winner.[12] The results were seen as rigged and the protests continued.[citation needed]
