Nuevas Ideas (Spanish for New Ideas) is a Salvadoran populist political party founded on 25 October 2017 and based in San Salvador. It was founded by the current President of the Republic of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele. It was legalized by the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) on 24 August 2018. Its first secretary general was Federico Gerardo Anliker and was later succeeded by Xavier Zablah Bukele.

It is defined, according to its statutes, as a "democratic, decentralized, plural, and inclusive political party without obsolete ideologies, but at the forefront of the struggle for the recognition of all rights for all citizens, without exclusion or privileges. Among its principles are: building a free El Salvador, defending diversity of thought, a free market and social economy, assuming political activity and the exercise of power as an act of commitment to the country."

History

Foundation

After the then-Mayor of San Salvador Nayib Bukele was expelled on from the FMLN on 10 October 2017, he announced on 25 October through his social networks the foundation of a citizen movement called "Nuevas Ideas", seeking for it to become a political party and thus allowing him to compete in the 2019 presidential elections under its banner. Ultimately, this did not materialize, and Bukele ran a successful one-time campaign under the Grand Alliance for National Unity.

By legal requirement, Bukele called on his supporters to go to the more than 90 signature collection centers throughout the country to support the creation of the political party. They managed to collect approximately 200,000 signatures in three days.

After 2021 elections

President Nayib Bukele was exceptionally popular among the citizens as he pushed an anti-corruption agenda.[8] According to a survey 96 percent of respondents said he was doing a "good" or "very good job." El Salvador's legislative elections was an important breakthrough in February 2021. Nuevas Ideas won around two-thirds of votes with its allies (GANA–Nuevas Ideas). Nuevas Ideas won supermajority 56 seats in the 84-seat parliament.[8]
