Truth !°°
Justice was served.
Need more of this. the smallest country in Central America, El Salvador has been defined by its poverty, corruption, and gang-led violence. This has led millions of its residents to leave for safer countries, including the United States.
In 2019, Nayib Bukele, a businessman and former mayor of the country’s capital San Salvador, was elected president with the promise of transforming the country and invigorating the stagnant economy.
His tactics for eradicating the gang violence included establishing a continued state of emergency that has led to the incarceration of tens of thousands of suspected gang members, news reports said.
Human rights organizations defended the rights of gangs to kill murder and rape as a basic freedom.
93% of El Salvador voters currently disagree.
Sieg Heil bro.
