Yeah, it's all fine until it's you or one of your relatives who is unjustly detained and disappeared.

Yeah. Also north Korea has lesser crime rate, why don't live there.

@@lubenretrolletarios7901 I'm not El Salvadorian but I see people protesting in the streets and people were only arrested. It's a huge stretch to compare El Salvador with North Korea because in the latter those protesting would be tortured and murdered or imprisoned in lifelong forced labor camps along their families.

@@theonlyD give it time.

You see it all the time in the US, “he was a good kid. didn’t hurt nobody, was on his way to church” etc. Families are sometimes unable to recognize that they raised, and are now defending monsters.

They will go back to their old ways and end up back in prison.

There was a teenage girl who made a short music video promoting gang culture and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. This is how it should be done.

@@senatedocument2646 Can't be done in the US. El Salvador doesn't have the same restrictions, however

@@senatedocument2646 Why?

Since the criminals showed no mercy to their victims, they deserve no mercy.

Gangs are terror organizations, and they organize themselves as armies. They have to be fought with that in mind.

We are seeing this in France.

Well that is how you stop some forest fires one flame smoothers the other

exactly why we talk about human rights of trash, where they were giving human rights to victims? still they need due process, i bet many evidence was found or they were found with gang members, majority of those imbeciles is tattooed with gang tattooes. we dont need due process on them. jailing them for stupidity is enough

That's right.

they can fucking starve for not raising their boys right.

LOL

this lol, i'm baffled by it. I wanna see them try this in china and how fast they would be put down lol

I agree. I am bilingual English/Spanish, and spent many months in El Salvador in both 1993 and 1995. This was right after their civil war, when the communist FMLN had been largely beaten down, and we were trying to help rebuild the country. My US Army Engineer unit built schools, roads, bridges, and community centers around the country. I became friends with hundreds of Salvadoran soldiers and civilians. They are at heart some of the most honorable and kind people you will ever meet. So many subsistence farmers living in countryside. It's an amazing culture. I have watched so many videos of Bukele in Spanish, and then I saw him speak to Tucker Carlson. I've been following the situation closely, and find him to be genuine and not corrupt. I hope that continues to be true. I had written off El Salvador as someplace I could ever visit again, because as a US Army veteran, the FMLN and La Mara Salvatrucha don't necessarily like me. Well, maybe they don't care, but it wasn't worth the risk. I so loved El Salvador and it's people back then, and am hopeful that he is the real deal. There is no reason he can't raise a country that size to become successful. El Salvador is slightly smaller than Vermont for example. Totally manageable. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. I pray for their success.

Thank you

You can tell the country is prospering when their citizens are optimistic, hopeful and looking forward for the future years ahead for more better changes for their future generations. El Salvador is a perfect example in the 2020's decade mindset. 2 of the things El Salvador has something going for them is that it is not a racist country and it has a freedom of religion.

The majority of Salvadorans are not poor nor are they rich, we are not all peasants either 😒

@@PlayCraze29 I didn't say they were all peasants. But I personally know very poor people in El Salvador who sing the praises of Bukele.

If I am not saying that there are no poor people either, but it seems like you are generalising, Nayib Bukele has the approval of 92% of the general population, a survey carried out by an opposition media outlet to the government

I agree. Also on the left but imposing our cultural and political expectations onto a country with extremely different reality is very precocious of people living in the West

When a country as small as El Salvador has a presidente that makes huge strides improving the living standard of his people, the u.s sees that as a threat. That all of a sudden all other countries would want to do the same thing. And all the system of control would crash.

Yes, you can. Just wait and see.

Yes it is! The Central American and Caribbean games is being hosted in El Salvador.its the second oldest Olympic tournament after the original Olympics…Just says capable the small nation feels can make it happen. 35 nations 500 athletes. That speaks wonders, very happy for my people. And if that makes him a dictator then idgaf. Hes making Salvadoreans proud again. Never have I seen so many Salvadorean representation lately and that makes me smile becaus we are a very small nation.

Can we agree that the world is more complicated than “There’s no innocent people incarcerated” of course there’s innocent people incarcerated, even in the US, it’s estimated that 1/10 people incarcerated are innocent of their crimes, or at least are serving for overblown charges. A society must strive to never incarcerate innocent people, and all people have a right to due process. However, El Salvador was in a state of terror, and this quick solution more than speaks for itself. Now El Salvador is poised to begin to bring back democratic elements.

@@pretzelstick320 That's usa, El Salvador is different.

@@beyondseeker7250 so are you saying that no innocent people get incarcerated in El Salvador? No country can boast a 0% wrongful conviction rate. I’m saying that El Salvador is in way better condition than before, but no leader is eternal. Hopefully the next leader is as benevolent.

Democratic limits have not been lifted, WE gave him the majority in Congress, we gave him the Presidency and the Constitution from 1962 gives him the right to change the heads of the Justice System. He hasn't changed any law related to how political powers are distributed, the only thing that was changed in a new INTERPRETATION of the 1962 Constitution about re-election, reinterpreting laws is common, that's how you keep the Constitution unchangeable but updated to the times. We already have many promising figures who can replace him and who can be great candidates, everyone of them young and Vice-president Ulloa is a good option too, my favorite in fact, great track political record.

Sounds like a communist manifesto textbook

Your school failed you then. Dictatorships are only effective when the person in charge is supremely honourable, even the Ancient Romans knew that someone with power needs checks and balances no matter what, how is it that 2000 years later you still fail to understand that

Which is silly because for the most part, the economy is not a zero sum game. We can all be richer and live better lives.

Almost 69 thousand so far, and counting. In the USA they don't care for gangs, it look that is something natural, something that people has to learn to live with.

American government is corrupt to the core, the most dangerous gangs in our country are 3 letter government agencies ruled over by globalists.

they should bring them into their homes since they have such a good heart

He is doing just that, that's why more than 5,000 are already out, they were not totally "innocent", they were taken by the police because they committed a crime like extortion but, this "innocent" did it under coercion so, they were set free and continue to be set free if investigations show they were forced to participate in those crimes.

Innocents are bound to get arrested when mass arrests happen like this. It's only fair for the families of the innocent to protest.

Collateral damage. Look at the arrested. They have tattoo's on their stupid faces. You should not have the ability to protest if you don't have a better solution and compassion and protests are what got you into this mess. Tell your kids to stay home and read books for a while.@@WolfBane1899

It's impossible to arrest 60,000 people without a huge number of innocent people being swept up too. Many of these arrests were made without due process. While it may have been a good thing for the country overall as it seems to have crippled the gangs, it's only fair that the relatives of the innocent plead for their freedom. Especially if the conditions within the prisons are nasty.

@@benroper5049 How would you know?

No country ever arrests the right people 100% of the time, it's one of the reasons the death penalty was abolished in my country. Innocent people always get caught up in the mix.
