SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador Saúl Meléndez, a former fighter during El Salvador’s civil war, was for years a loyal member of the leftist political party formed by his fellow ex-guerrillas after the war.
But Meléndez has now won his first elected office not with them, but as a member of President Nayib Bukele’s New Ideas party.
