El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, known for his popularity and controversy, has secured a second term. His tenure has been marked by significant strides against crime, notably through a stringent crackdown on criminal gangs, which has transformed El Salvador from 'the most dangerous country in the world' to one of the safest in the 'Western Hemisphere'. However, this achievement has raised concerns regarding the rule of law and the jailing of thousands of innocent people. Critics argue that Bukele is consolidating power in ways that contravene the nation's constitution, involving his family and allies in dubious activities in Venezuela. Additionally, Bukele's unwavering commitment to El Salvador's bitcoin purchasing strategy, initiated in 'September 2021' when the cryptocurrency's price was near its peak, has been highlighted as part of his governance approach.

The fact remains that @nayibbukele is doing more for El Salvador than any politician is doing for Amerrica. We need an actual strong leader to take charge of our crime ridden country and not worry about feelings.

“Bukele copycats and those who believe his model can be replicated far and wide overlook a key point: The conditions that allowed him to wipe out El Salvador’s gangs are unlikely to jointly appear elsewhere in Latin America.” https://t.co/CQNJE4jSOg
I recognize the amazing progress against crime in El Salvador. Yet, Bukele is perpetuating himself in power against the constitution of his own nation. His family and his allies are involved in questionable endeavors in Venezuela. This won't age well. https://t.co/lP8WQap1qX
