The rhetoric is similar to that of authoritarian governments in the region, such as Nicaragua O Cuba, and it is proposed to unmask the nation led by Joe Biden.

His tweets make the argument very clear: economic and electoral boycotts to destabilize progressive governments.

In the last of his forays into the trine network, he is more emphatic: “It is clear that the United States Government does not accept collaboration, friendship or alliance. It is absolute submission, or nothing. His daily accusations seem absurd. I didn’t know they were so interested in El Salvador ”. This was after the US Treasury Department sanctioned the Salvadoran cabinet chief, Carolina Recinos, for alleged corruption in the management of the pandemic.

And it is not the only way in which he shakes off criticism. Bukele has affirmed that, in the meeting with the former US ambassador to El Salvador Jean Manes, she asked him to “Ernesto Muyshondt, a politician linked to” at maras.

He, of course, rejected the proposal.

Write the German wave that this complaint from the president “It came hours after the United States Department of the Treasury announced sanctions against two government officials for corruption during the president’s ‘secret negotiations’ with the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13)”.

The medium writes: “Those appointed are the directors of Penal Centers, Osiris Luna, and of Reconstruction of the Social Fabric, Carlos Marroquín”.

And add:

Washington claimed that Luna and Marroquín ‘led, facilitated and organized’ a series of meetings with jailed gang leaders, as part of the Salvadoran government’s efforts to negotiate ‘a secret truce’ with MS-13 chiefs.″.

One more line to the tiger

Bad relationships between The Savior of Bukele and Biden’s United States they are not new. In fact, a month ago, France 24 already wrote about it: the first accuses the other of financing the opposition, and the second points out that the first is attempting “against the independence of powers”.

The diplomat Jean Manes had already said it months ago: “We can’t look the other way when there is a decline in democracy”.

The medium limits: “Upon taking office on May 1, the new ruling Parliament dismissed the magistrates of the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court, whom Bukele had criticized for blocking his anticovid plans, and removed the attorney general”.

Then, in September, said Constitutional Chamber approved that Bukele could try a re-election in 2024.

But, unlike the Biden management, Bukele did have good relations with Donald Trump’s, who called it “ally and friend”.

In an interview with France 24, the former Salvadoran ambassador to Washington Rubén Zamora maintained that Trump “he just asked“To cut off migration to the US.

The experts speak

The president who once joked about being the “coolest dictator”Of the world joins the chorus of the region that points to the US as an incongruous nation and determined to destabilize its country.

The Argentine analyst based in the United States, Hernan Molina, notes:

It is true that the United States has interfered in the countries to protect their interests and prevent the advance of what, at one time was communism, and now are the hegemonies of China and Russia, although I do not know how successful it is.”.

With that in mind, Bukele joins the chorus with Nicaragua and Cuba to demonize the US, even when it has a big straw tail.

He joins these leaders who, in general, are autocrats, have authoritarian tendencies, who are not in favor of transparency or human rights, and who disbelieve democratic processes because they can replace them.”.

In fact, I don’t think it is a casual decision that a small economy like El Salvador is the first country in the world to use cryptocurrency officially.”.

In this regard, the Salvadoran political analyst Luis Alvarado notes that there are similarities between Nayib Bukele’s management and what Fidel Castro did in the 60s supported by Russia.

Bukele establishes a relationship with Beijing, receives money and, when it comes to funds like those that the United States normally gives to the country, tries to stop them or steal them.”.

It must be remembered that he is building mechanisms, through a new law that he is proposing, so that 40% of any money that enters the country to ONG, for example, stay in the government coffers”.

In response, Alvarado notes, countries like Germany are already deciding to stop financing and supporting the Salvadoran people, and the door is being opened for the Asian countries Invest and increase your influence in the nation.

And, of course, Bukele has a letter with which he can harass the Joe Biden government and meddle in US domestic politics: irregular migration. “All you have to do is open the doors and give a message of encouragement for people to go to the US borders.”.

This, obviously, with the blessing of his new benefactor, China”.

The objective is evident, concludes Alvarado, who notes that it is enough to visit El Salvador to notice the great investment in infrastructure and public areas of the Chinese government, a way “to win the feelings of the people”.

A month ago, President Bukele started a public relations campaign to tell the people that an energy project had been launched. But he did not say that the funds came from the United States.”.

The ambassador had to go to her Twitter and write that the Americans were happy to help El Salvador”.
