El Salvador: The Price of Security
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- Once the murder capital of the world, El Salvador finds itself grappling with both gang violence and geopolitical shifts. Between 2013 and 2016, murder rates soared due to gang wars and systemic extortion. President Nayib Bukele, emerging from this tumult, removes the safety catches from the government and actually tackles the issue. However, all of this is coming at a long-term cost. How does Bukele's regional vision mesh with the complexities of Central American geopolitics, and does this new path set Bukele on a collision course with the US? Join us as we dissect El Salvador's evolving position on the world stage.
On the panel this week are:
- Robert Guest (The Economist)
- Nik McNally (The Red Line)
- Margaret Myers (Inter-American Dialogue)

Is your upload schedule changing?
We salvadorians stand with our president Nayib.
Some similarities to Philippines crackdown.
The salvadoreans victims need to be protected not the mareros terrorist.
Damn the hypocrisy of this podcast is crazy. Definitely not subscribed
I have unsubscibed. The so called experts are all hypocrites.
It really does come down to the simplicity of- Salvadorans can now walk down their block, free of fear. QOL has gone up astronomically, but the usual suspects keep crying about human rights. I’m not necessarily a fan of Bukele but it’s like he says “what about the human rights of the Salvadoran people? Is it only gang members entitled to these?”
Bukele has upset the powers that be through his decision to move El Salvador away from the fiat Petrodollar system towards a hard money standard (Bitcoin). You wouldn’t have heard a peep from the New York Times and other establishment mouthpieces such as this podcast decades ago when the American sponsored military dictatorship committed atrocities such as the systematic massacre of peasants and indigenous civilians, torturing of political opposition, intimidation of voters and rigged elections.
How are they hypocritical?
@@jesusgonzalez-acton8045 I don't know if Bukele is truly the great man he wants to portray himself as, and time will tell whether or not he deserves to join the ranks of the great popular leaders of history, but this is a pattern that goes back all the way to the Gracchi Brothers and Julius Caesar. People who want to get things done for the people are opposed at every turn by the plutocratic elites who stand to lose from the people's prosperity and safety, equating an attack on their own interests with an attack on the political system itself. Bukele probably won't be assassinated like the populares of Rome usually were, but he's still being baselessly accused of conspiracies of tyranny in exactly the same way.
@@jesusgonzalez-acton8045exactly and those “human right people” didn’t care about the families suffering for years due to gang violence what about all those Victims. President Bukele said if they really care so much we will give them to you!! 2 for 1. Take them to your respective countries.
