President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador, credited with driving down gang violence in the Central American nation, has been re-elected.
Preliminary results released after 70% of votes had been counted showed him securing a second term by winning 83% of the votes.
He had already claimed victory before the results were announced.
His popularity has soared following a crackdown on crime which drove down the country's murder rate.
Under his presidency, El Salvador has been transformed from one of the most violent countries in the world to one of the safest in Latin America.

"What an Authoritarian!" you might remark But Bukele's a Leftist former FMLN member, so its' all cool! And MS-13? They're what became of the US's allies in the Nicaraguan Contraa and El Salvadoran Civil War (brought to you by USAID). They're "blowback" from these US IC Ops. They're what became of US allied forces families who fled to the US in El Salvador's Civil War. MS-13 is an American gang, born and bred in LA.

America’s False Friends: Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE Are Really NOT t the Allies We Pretend That They Are The Middle East remains one of the most volatile and strategically important regions in the world. While the United States continues to maintain close ties with countries like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the reality is that these nations routinely act in ways that undermine American interests, fund extremism, and destabilize their neighbors—often with impunity.
They may pretend that they are, but they really rather buddy up with one of our Progressive Communist Democrats like Bernie Sanders for example, and .raise a glass of Vodka- with a Toast!
It’s time to face a difficult truth: these are not loyal allies. They are power players who wear the mask of partnership while fueling the very chaos the U.S. claims to be fighting.
The Shocking Truth:is that Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Are Not Really America’s Friends At All!
They Play Us for Chumps, whether it be blowing up the USS Liberty or sending shitball Jonathan Pollard to steal our secrets. You might say! That's Just Crazy Talk.! Actually, the evidence kind of indicates the opposite. Three separate attacks on a clearly marked American ships may prove my point! Even though .they may concluded the attacks was an obvious and explainable accident.. But you can believe whatever you wish too.
The problem is that many of you Progressives are immune to persuasion because you are an Avowed, Proud Anti-semite and Israel Haters who routinely parrots neo-Nazi/ISIS/Hamas propaganda about Jews and Israel. You anti-Trumpers are the same people who were “Protesting” at Columbia just recently .
I see what you write on those Progressive blogs when you think that we Conservatives are not around to see it. In reality I only visit those Whackadoodle Websites when I need a good laugh.
I think that you Democratic Commies are crazier than a LOON when you comes up with one of your crazy Manifestos, or when you blame things like the Hamas Raid of October 7, 2023. And I see who’s behind the Disgusting Protests at our Universities now!. And we see who’s behind Democrats Supporting Nation Building, if not geopolitical games, in Ukraine and calling for an end to Israel
The terrorists come here on a Green Card and then incites race riots at Columbia in support of Hamas.
Guess who has come to his defense? That other Piece of Crap Letitia James and the Democrats!
Let me make it perfectly clear that this issue will not go away! And you Democrats support the Socialist Commie Rats.
Why SHOULD NON-CITIZENS in the US be allowed to protest our government's actions, just because he has a “Green Card”?? Actions have consequences.! Just remember that.
Even though You Libs Feel and Have Reiterated Constantly That Terrorists and Illegals have Rights Identical to American Citizens. Well, they DON’T, and you know it! You Know Damn Well that's BULL-SHIT.
Did you see that Video with Michelle Obama Whining, and Bitching about having to buy her own food while living free in White House. With them being servered hand and foot for EVERYTHING including the best of Food, and anything else they wanted. That Women just Can’t Be Satisfied!
The Obama's estimated net worth ranges between $70 million to $135 million, making him among the richest presidents to leave office - trailing behind both Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.
Yep, it must be very difficult to try and survive on $400,000/year, good thing they didn't have to pay any Rent.
Its amazes me leftist like Michelle Obama claim to be smarter and more educated, while the shit spewed from their mouths demonstrate they must b the dumbest
Wikipedia: In September 2021, the Supreme Court of Justice ruled that the incumbent president could run for immediate re-election despite the country's constitution prohibiting immediate re-election, overturning a 2014 ruling that reaffirmed that re-election was prohibited. In September 2022, Bukele officially announced that he was running for re-election. In June 2023, he officially registered as a presidential candidate for Nuevas Ideas, and the following month, Nuevas Ideas formally confirmed Bukele as its presidential candidate. Various lawyers, journalists, and opposition politicians criticized Bukele's re-election bid as authoritarian and unconstitutional, while most Salvadorans—both inside and outside the country -- remained highly supportive of his campaign. In October 2022, the Legislative Assembly passed a law that allowed Salvadoran expatriates to vote in the election. Several opposition politicians criticized the decision, claiming that it would lead to electoral fraud. In December 2022, Bukele suggested reducing the number of municipalities and, in June 2023, he officially presented his proposals to reduce the number of municipalities from 262 to 44 and the number of seats in the Legislative Assembly from 84 to 60 to the Legislative Assembly. The Legislative Assembly approved both proposals that same month. The reductions were criticized by lawyers, economists, and opposition politicians as gerrymandering, undemocratic, and an attempt to consolidate the government's power. link
Copilot: The Constitution of El Salvador has historically prohibited immediate presidential re-election. Specifically, Article 152 states that a person cannot be president if they have held the office for more than six months during the immediate previous term. This provision was interpreted for decades as a strict ban on consecutive re-election.
However, in September 2021, the Supreme Court of Justice overturned a 2014 ruling that reaffirmed this prohibition. The court ruled that an incumbent president could seek re-election, arguing that the constitutional restriction applied only to someone who had already served two terms or more1. This decision was controversial, as critics saw it as a move to consolidate power, while supporters viewed it as a legal reinterpretation allowing continuity in governance.
The ruling was made after the Legislative Assembly replaced the sitting justices of the Constitutional Chamber in May 2021, appointing new magistrates seen as loyal to President Nayib Bukele. This shift in judicial leadership paved the way for the court’s decision, which allowed Bukele to run for re-election in 2024. [end]
aka, the election was rigged.
What Nayib Bukele is doing in El Salvador that Minus would LOVE to see king d0n0ld do in the United States...
Bukele’s approach to governance is undeniably polarizing. On one hand, his Territorial Control Plan has significantly reduced gang violence, earning him widespread support among Salvadorans who have long suffered under gang rule. His approval ratings remain high, with many citizens valuing security over concerns about democratic erosion.
However, his methods have raised serious human rights concerns. Under a state of emergency declared in March 2022, thousands of people have been arbitrarily detained, often without due process, and reports of torture and ill-treatment in prisons have surfaced. Critics argue that his administration has weakened democratic institutions, including removing Supreme Court justices and allowing consecutive re-election, which was previously unconstitutional. (via Copilot).
Minus: "What an Authoritarian!" you might remark But Bukele's a Leftist former FMLN member, so its' all cool!
Copilot: FMLN members’ opinions on Bukele have been overwhelmingly negative. Many in the party view him as a traitor who abandoned leftist principles in favor of authoritarianism and populism. Some critics highlight his misogynistic behavior, which contributed to his expulsion from the party. Others argue that his militarization of politics, such as storming the Legislative Assembly with armed soldiers in 2020, was a clear sign of his anti-democratic tendencies.
Bukele’s flip-flopping on ideological stances, including his shift toward far-right alliances, has further alienated former FMLN allies. His administration’s mass incarceration policies and human rights violations have also drawn condemnation from leftist circles. [end]
Bukele, like Chavez, was a Leftist. It pretty much tells the whole tale.
Yeah, Stalin abandoned Leftist principles for Authoritarianism too. Funny how that works once you hold power for a while. Maybe we should ask Chairman Xi... @@
Kim Jong Il?
Does that explain why Bukele and donald tRump are sympatico? They are both Leftists? donald tRump used to be a registered Democrat.
"Bukele, like Chavez, was a Leftist. It pretty much tells the whole tale".
This is a tale loosely based on reality but one that take place primarily in your delusions.
FMLN members’ opinions on Bukele have been overwhelmingly negative. Many in the party view him as a traitor who abandoned leftist principles in favor of authoritarianism and populism.
I don't think that the Right-wing descendants in MS-13 have a very high opinion of him either. The prison-industrial complex does seem to be a rather "profitable" venture... gulags as replacements for capitalism. Very Left-wing indeed.
The prison industrial complex is rightwing.
Copilot: In 2021, Biden signed an executive order directing the Department of Justice (DOJ) to phase out federal contracts with private prisons. This was meant to reduce corporate profit from incarceration and address concerns about inhumane conditions.
On his first day back in office, Trump reversed Biden’s executive order, allowing the DOJ to renew contracts with private prisons.
Trump’s administration is expected to expand private detention, especially for undocumented immigrants, as part of his aggressive deportation policies.
Private prison stocks surged after Trump’s election, with companies like GEO Group and CoreCivic anticipating major profits from increased incarceration and immigration enforcement.
Essentially, Biden tried to limit private prison use (with mixed success), while Trump is bringing them back and expanding their role in immigration detention. [end]
Minus: Very Left-wing indeed.
BS.
Copilot: The prison-industrial complex is driven by capitalism, not a left-wing system. Private prisons exist to make money through government contracts and prison labor, which aligns with profit-driven capitalist motives rather than state-controlled socialist principles.
Corporations benefit from incarceration rates, lobbying for policies that increase sentencing severity and mass imprisonment, a process deeply tied to free-market incentives.
While the prison-industrial complex is certainly profitable, the idea that gulags represent left-wing capitalism is historically and ideologically inaccurate. Instead, private prisons represent corporate exploitation, while gulags were mechanisms of authoritarian control. [end]
Biden isn't Left-wing. He sold out like the rest of the PMC elite for a surplus salary decades ago. They don't get any more Neoliberal than the Brookings Institute's Neolib Deep State office filler's revolving door manager, Sleepy Joe.
...and Zek's in the gulag don't sit around clanging their tin cups on the bars all day humming the blues, they either work their *sses off for the state, or they die. You know that prison that Garcia's at now... major sweatshop for the State.
Minus: ...that prison that Garcia's at now... major sweatshop for the State.
He was kidnapped and sold into slavery. Turd-2, instead of giving money to the family of the insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt, should have to pay Garcia a bigly sum for the crimes they committed against him.
On the bright side, Garcia made his last human trafficking run from the border into Maryland. :)
Minus: Biden isn't Left-wing.
The Washington Post: Biden’s Democratic Party is to the left of Obama’s. Thank a progressive. ... Left-wing ideas and policies are more ascendant in American politics today than arguably at any time since the 1960s and certainly since Ronald Reagan won the presidency and pushed U.S. politics — including the Democratic Party -- firmly to the right. 7/13/2023.
Minus: On the bright side, Garcia made his last human trafficking run from the border into Maryland.
The Independent: Trump officials won't share evidence accusing deported Maryland father of "human trafficking". To hear officials in Donald Trump’s administration tell it, a Salvadoran father in Maryland they admitted was wrongfully deported to a brutal prison in his home country is "involved in human trafficking". But government lawyers have not raised any such claims in court, and the allegations appear to have been first introduced publicly during a White House press conference. ... The only mention of trafficking allegations against Abrego Garcia in court documents comes from his own attorney, who notes that "although the White House has accused Plaintiff of involvement in human trafficking, [the government’s] court filing omits any such scandalous accusation". link
That the so-called evidence has not been presented in court (when it absolutely could have been) is proof positive Kilmar Abrego Garcia is completely innocent and absolutely not a "human trafficker".
HIS MS-13 TRAFFICKING CAR-OWNING fellow gang banger ratted him out. :)
"You got 4 rows of seats in that car?" ... and no luggage?
Hernandez-Reyes allegedly admitted he was in the U.S. illegally and told federal investigators from the Department of Homeland Security that he had previously lived in Maryland but had since moved to Houston. He said he operated a Texas-based business transporting people throughout the U.S. for $350 per person. In June 2020, he pleaded guilty to a single count of unlawful transportation of an alien and was sentenced to 18 months in prison and subsequently deported, according to court records.
He was found back in the U.S. in late 2022 when he was charged in Montgomery County, Texas, with illegal discharge of a firearm, according to state court records.
After serving time in Texas he was charged federally with illegally reentering the U.S. after previously being convicted of a felony. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 30 months.
After they met in 2015, the prisoner reportedly admitted to DOJ officials that he paid Abrego Garcia to transport illegal immigrants from Texas to various destinations throughout the United States.
Oooops!
The only mention of trafficking allegations against Abrego Garcia in court documents comes from his own attorney, who notes that "although the White House has accused Plaintiff of involvement in human trafficking, [the government’s] court filing omits any such scandalous accusation".
Bigly Oooops.
If Garcia ever manages to come back stateside for another trial, it will.
That would be fine by me. Bring him back and present that evidence.
Naaah. Let him rot and hope he gets shivved.
It's time to stop wasting money on legal costs for dealing with these goombahs.
I have never been a Democrat OR a Republican. :)
