five gangs—Mara Salvatrucha, 18th Street gang, Mao Mao, Maquina, and Miranda Locos 13—offered to relaunch the truce, promising to avoid "civilian attacks". The gangs described their offer as a "second chance for the country to achieve peace", but Sánchez Cerén rejected the gangs' appeal, stating that he was developing his own strategy to reduce crime. In November 2014, Martínez stated that the government would not enter any talks with the gangs for another truce. On 17 January 2015, the gang leaders which were moved out of the Zacatecoluca maximum-security prison at the beginning of the truce were returned to Zacatecoluca. That same day, MS-13 and Barrio 18 announced that they had agreed to a new truce without asking for concessions from the government. Five days later, El Salvador reported a day without a murder. In April 2015, spokespeople for MS-13, Barrio 18, Mao Mao, and Mirada Locos 13 announced that they would "[give] instructions for our units to stand down" and work towards "satisfactorily responding to what society hopes of us: less murders, less extortion; and definitely: less violence". They described it as a "gesture of goodwill" and "a gift to Monsignor Romero". Gang leaders sent a letter to the Salvadoran government in June 2015 calling for them to reinstate the truce, a letter which the government dismissed. Alleged negotiations under Nayib Bukele In September 2020, El Faro alleged that President Nayib Bukele had entered secret negotiations with MS-13 and Barrio 18 to reduce the country's homicide rate, similar to the allegations they presented against Funes in March 2012. El Faro alleged that the government promised to repeal laws and relax security in prisons in exchange for the gangs supporting Nuevas Ideas (NI), Bukele's political party, in the 2021 legislative election to bring them to power. Bukele denied the allegations, tweeting, "they accuse us of violating the terrorists' human rights. Now they say we give them privileges? Show me a privilege. Only one" and posted images of gang members in cramped conditions from a prison lockdown from April 2020. In another tweet, he stated, "Are they not themselves the ones who have been DENOUNCING US for our treatment of terrorists? 'Someone' is passing them false information". In December 2021, the United States Department of the Treasury alleged that Bukele was secretly negotiating with gangs to lower the homicide rate, allegations which Bukele again denied.
