Claudia Ortiz, 38, has become the most visible political figure in the opposition to Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. Her political capital is far from matching the president's propaganda machine and overwhelming popularity, but today she is the only leader in the country mentioned as a possible option for a possible post-Bukele era. The outlook, in any case, seems distant. Bukele maintains control over all three branches of government, including the Legislative Assembly, where Ortiz is a representative.
