Nuevas Ideas

image by Ivan Sache, 5 February 2021

Nuevas Ideas (New Ideas) was established on 25 October 2017 by Nayib Bukele (b. 1981) after he had been expelled from the Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN). The new party was legalized on 24 August 2018 by the Election Supreme Court.
Bukele was elected President of the Republic on 1 June 2019. Opinion polls predict a triumph of Nuevas Ideas, now led by his cousin Xavier Zablah Bukele, at the general elections scheduled to February 2021.

The flag of Nuevas Ideas is blue with a white "N", standing for both "Nuevas" and "Nayib".

PCN - Partido de Concertación Nacional

image by Zoltan Horvath, 11 March 2014

"The Partido de Concertación Nacional (National Coalition Party) is a conservative party established on September 30, 1961 and until 2011 it was known as the Partido de Conciliación Nacional, PCN). It was the most powerful political party in the country during the 1960s and 1970s, and was closely associated with the Salvadorean military. All the Presidents from 1962 onwards, until the 1979 coup d'etat were from this political party. After the 1979 revolution the party declined in influence but continued to exist. Today, it is considered relatively minor as compared with the two major organizations, ARENA and the FMLN. With none of these two parties holding a majority, PCN can be seen as holding the balance of power. However, it usually sides with the conservative ARENA party.
While the party was technically to be disbanded after the 2004 election, in which its candidate did not gather the necessary 3% of the vote, it was allowed to hold onto its registration by Decree; this Decree was declared unconstitutional on 30 April 2011, and the party was thus disbanded. The party was de facto re-established, registering with the Supreme Electoral Tribunal as the National Coalition ('Concertación Nacional', CN) in September 20, 2011 (after two rulings from the Tribunal Superior de Justicia and one by the Tribunal Supremo Electoral ratifying th existence of the party. After one year, it added the word 'Partido' ("party") to its full name, which allowed it
to again use the traditional acronym PCN".

PNL - Partido Nacional Liberal

image from www.elecciones2004.com.sv

There are presidential elections in El Salvador this month on the 21st, and there are only 6 parties participating of which only one is a new party.
Fred Drews, 3 March 2004

"El Diario de Hoy", 7 October 2007, has an article on the next elections (2009); on the electronic edition, there is a small, clickable photography, on which the flag of the PLN can be seen on a wall. The flag shown there is fairly similar to the one above, but the name of the party, written on the bottom of the flag, and its acronym, written in upper hoist, are yellow instead of white. The plant shown in the yellow field of the flag, probably maize, seems to be less stylized on the real flag than on the graphic shown above.

Unidad

image by Fred Drews, 14 August 2014

Unidad (Unity) was a coalition of three centrist parties, GANA (Gran Alianza por la Unidad Nacional), PCN (Partido de Concertación Nacional), and PDC (Partido Demócrata Cristiano), established on 5 May 2013 by Elías Antonio Saca (b. 1965; President of the Republic from 2004 to 2009) to support his candidacy at the 2014 presidential election. Saca presented the coalition as an alternative to the two traditional parties, ARENA and FMLN.
The original flag of Unidad featured a portrait of Antonio Saca, three horizontal stripes with the national colours,and the coalition's name. Following a complaint by ARENA and FMLN, the Supreme Court of Justice declared the flag not compliant with the Constitution, because of Saca's portrait. Unidad claimed that the portrait had a generic value and "that it could not be proved with certainty that the portrait was the photo of a specific person". The Electoral Supreme Court subsequently ordered the party "to correct its plans" within 72 hours, without explicitly saying what should be corrected. Antonio Saca promised he would not change the flag, but the portrait was soon removed from the flag. On 2 February 2014, Saca came third, with 11.4% of the votes, at the first round of the election, and could not qualify for the second round. On 27 June 2014, the Supreme Court of Justice declared Saca's candidacy's not compliant with the Constitution, since he should have respected a delay of 10 years since his first tenure.

The party flags officially recognized by the Electoral Supreme Court are shown on the Court's website. THe issue is of significance since the flags are printed on the ballot papers.

Vamos

Flags used for the political party Vamos, El Salvador.
Fred Drews, 16 March 2019

VAMOS (Spanish, Let's go) was registered as a political party on 14 November 2017 by the Tribunal Supremo Electoral.

VAMOS was founded by Josué Alvarado Flores (b. 1956), who emigrated to the USA in October 1985 and came back to El Salvador in 2015. Alvarado settled in Maryland, where he started as a door-to-door salesperson, mostly offering on dairy products. The small business turned in a few years into the Río Grande Foods company; registered in Maryland, the company inaugurated a factory in El Salvador, which produced "ethnic" food and beverages, mostly based on corn and milk, respectively. Initially targeted to El Salvador residents in the USA and Canada, the company progressively expanded to Latin America, the Caribbean Islands, Asia, Oceania and Africa.

Now a successful businessman, Alvaro self-funded his campaign for the 2015 general elections, under the banner of the Partido Demócrata Cristiano (PDC), but was not elected. To defend his own political views, Alvarado founded VAMOS and announced his candidacy to the 2019 presidential election. In November 2018, a lawyer filed a request of non-constitutionality against Alvaro's candidacy, arguing that he had served for three years as an evangelist pastor in Maryland; Article 82 of the Constitution states that ministers of a religious group and members of the armed forces are not allowed to membership of a political party. The Corte Suprema de Justicia approved the request on 16 January 2019, stating that Alvaro's candidacy would not be cancelled but he would not be allowed to serve as the President of the Republic, were he to be elected.

Alvarado presents himself as an admirer of former President of Colombia Álvaro Uribe (2002-2010); his program is based on recovery of agricultural production, limitation of corruption and prevention of violence.

CNN, 29 January 2019

In the 2019 presidential election, Vamos failed to challenge the three main parties or alliances, receiving only 20,763 votes (O.8%), far behind GANA (1,434,856; 53.1%), the alliance led by ARENA (857,084; 31.7%) and the FMLN (389,289; 14.4%).
Nayib Bukele (b. 1981), the former Mayor of El Salvador who had left the FMLN and founded GANA, was elected President of the Republic.
