     @murosinvisibles i love it when western journalists criticize Bukele, but leave out the context of why such measures are necessary to maintain stability in the country.
     
     > Bukele’s seemingly permanent “state of emergency”, which grants security forces broad powers to detain and surveil citizenry without warrants.
     
     He isn't doing this for no reason, El Salvador has a serious gang problem caused by mass deportations of Salvadoran refugees from the US after they fled US-funded death squads in El Salvador during the Civil War between a communist people's movement and right wing oligarchs with millions of dollars per-day in US funding and arms.
     
     After 30 years of gang violence, El Salvador has re-established the rule of law. They have re-worked their justice system to be both self-sustaining and rehabilitative. The ex-gang members are paying their debt to society through public works programs that grant them expedited release.
     
     FMLN and ARENA have known ties to gangs. The supposed "hijinks" regarding Bukele's reelection are nothing in comparison to the millions of dollars and millions of lives stolen by the corrupt politicians and their gang connections.

     It was a week of political hijinks in two important elections in Latin America
