Does anyone know why foreign media outlets (especially in the West) are so keen to criticize Bukele? Searching his name on WaPo or CNN comes up almost exclusively with hit pieces or scare-bait about the 'mega prisons', yet I read the other day he's polling at a record 93% approval in El Salvador. That seems the result of a politician doing their job well, no?
Where is this discrepancy coming from?
- jowea 3y agoDifferent priorities maybe? Are those foreign media outlets criticizing him for the same reasons people there support him? I think what we have here is a case leaning towards benevolent dictatorship. Those are always controversial.
