“Don’t Teach Us How To Run Our Country” | El Salvador President Schools Reporter | India Today

Nayib Bukele, now the twice elected president of El Salvador, shared this video on 21st February, showing his reply to a question asked by a BBC reporter. Bukele’s New Ideas party won a “supermajority” on Monday, romping home in 54 of the 60 congressional seats. Salvadorian laws allow the leader accorded with a supermajority to have an apparent free reign in governance. Upon his election in 2019, Nayib Bukele, who is of Palestinian heritage, emerged as the youngest president in Latin America. Known for his love of grand events, he has managed to draw global celebrities, including organising the Miss Universe pageant and bringing football legend Lionel Messi for a friendly game. Bukele gained international attention in 2022 for his stringent crackdown on the gangs that have plagued El Salvador for years.

The UK has imprisoned Julian Assange in their maximum security prison on no charges and the reporter is lecturing a President of another country on their justice system. The irony.

[@stephanie_smith]

And the reportee brought up NGOs are criticizing him too...that tells you a lot!! I hope people are willing to wake up and look at all of this squarely in the eye before it's too late.

[@weatherwaxusefullhints2939]

It's not irony, it's hypocrisy

[@Flowmotion1000]

To hack or steal classified information is a crime in just about every country in the world, even the recent newspaper phone hackers received severe penalties. The information that was stolen by Assange also put lives at risk at the time. I do feel sorry for him in a way but he chose to hide away in the Ecuadorean embassy, and presumably Belmarsh prison, to avoid facing charges.
