> Who is Bukele or anyone to seize power from people in El Salvador and tell them what they must do? He's the democratically elected president with 90% popular approval. The power he seized used to reside in the hands of MS-13 and Barrio 18. Under the former rule of the maras: - no freedom of speech: you break omertà, they kill you. The gangs even put up signs: "see, hear, and shut up" - no freedom of movement: you enter the wrong neighborhood, they kill you - no reproductive rights: they think you're pretty, they rape you - no property rights: you have something they want, they take it from you - no due process: you piss them off, they kill you - no right to life: they feel like killing someone, they kill you People used to live like slaves, every day was hell. Now they can work, go to school, play outside, visit relatives, etc without fear. Ask any Salvadoran, they will tell you that they feel more free than ever now. But for some reason all the "human rights defenders" want to force Salvadorans to return to the horrible past. Better that than admitting their ideology has failed: https://twitter.com/nayibbukele/status/1750681591200768160/ https://twitter.com/nayibbukele/status/1750681591200768160/
