El Salvador's power-hungry president, citing gang murders, suspends important rights.
Bukele made with gangs last year — a truce he and his administration deny — appears to be just window dressing. As a spokesperson for the country’s National Civil police union told the independent news outlet El Faro, “The gangs are sending a forceful message: They are in charge. They are saying that they can increase or decrease homicides when they see fit.”
Still, Bukele will follow his own rules, so much so that the United States appears almost powerless, a rare occurrence in a region historically dictated by U.S. policy. Even with allegations that some members of his governmentby the U.S. State Department, Bukele knows he ultimately does not have to answer to American charges.
