Oscar Romero was caught between the rich ruling class and the poor who made up about 99 percent of the population of El Salvador. He demanded an end to the persecution of the poor and a better distribution of wealth. This made him a target of the extreme right-wing death squads that operated in El Salvador to deal with any opposition to the government.
