Why do y’all think Bukele is fascist? The mandate of his presidency has been to fight corruption at all levels of government. Both FMLN and ARENA are in the pocket of MS13 and 18. Which, may I remind you, were gangs created in the diaspora that were mass deported from the US to SV shortly after the end of El Salvador’s civil war in 1991. They are the reason why SV has had the highest intentional homicide rate in the world for the last 30 years. Bukele came up through the ranks of FMLN and eventually split off to form his new Nuevas Ideas party which is extremely popular.
I understand being critical of the extremely high incarceration rate after “Operation Territorial Control”, but the most recent news I have is that all of the inmates that don’t qualify for maximum security have the option to work off their sentences by volunteering for public works. New hospitals, schools, &c. Cleaning up graffiti and generally repairing the damage done by 30 years of gang occupation.
Then again, he did topple a statue of Che Guevara so he must be a baddie and the US is very upset about what he’s been doing. Especially with the opposition trying to get the Yankee’s involved at every step.
I’m open to changing my mind, but I think Bukele delivering on his anti corruption measures has been good for the country and his administration has invested heavily in public infrastructure and services. His approval rating is extremely high as a result. At least its good in comparison to gangs being in bed with the government, ya feel?
You would think that El Salavador with his buttcoin miner fascist president would be upper in the list by now. Must be an old map or something.
