Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it has it President Bukele of El Salvador tore up a monument made by communists, melted it, & turned it into a manhole cover.
Salvadorans voted on Sunday in elections expected to hand President Nayib Bukele another landslide victory, with many happy to overlook the young leader’s authoritarian drift after he crushed gang violence that had paralyzed life in the poor Central American country.
Bukele, 42, appears poised to become the first Salvadoran president in more than a century to be re-elected.
Wildly popular, Bukele has campaigned on the success of his security strategy under which authorities suspended civil liberties to arrest more than 75,000 Salvadorans without charges. The detentions led to a sharp decline in nationwide murder rates and transformed a country of 6.3 million people that was once among the world’s most dangerous.
But some analysts have said the mass incarceration of 1% of the population is not a sustainable long-term strategy.
