After 14 months of "war" against the "maras", these criminal gangs that have reigned terror in the country, Salvadorans enthusiastically find the pleasure of ringing in the street. "Here the atmosphere is good.

Me, I make even the lame dance," jokes Sonia Isabel Aguilar, who waltzes at 75 years old her skirt with fabric printed with flowers. "I have music in my blood," says the septuagenarian for whom dancing makes "forget the sorrows" Despite criticism from human rights NGOs and the Catholic Church about the expeditious nature of the method used, 9 out of 10 Salvadorans approve of the merciless 'war' against crime.
