Bukele Assures That El Salvador Is Now The Safest Country In Latin America

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat


Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele assured this Tuesday that El Salvador is now the safest country in Latin America after the month of July ended without any homicides being recorded, making it the safest month in history for the country.

"From the most dangerous country in the world to the safest in Latin America," Bukele said in a message broadcast through his Twitter account, in which he also shared statistics on daily homicides throughout July. 

Thus, he has defended the measures taken by the Government to deal with the gangs that operate in the country and has stressed that the authorities "keep going." "If we analyze the month of July, the rate would be 2.19 annual homicides per 100,000 inhabitants," he asserted, before clarifying that compared to 2021, the country would be by far the safest in all of Latin America.

Bukele imposed a state of emergency at the end of March in response to violence unleashed by various gangs, a measure that was extended on July 20 by Parliament. According to data from the Presidency, since the state of emergency was decreed, almost 48,500 gang members have been arrested and 1,198 firearms have been seized.

"The results obtained by the implementation of the exception regime will allow Salvadorans to enjoy the safest vacations of the last six decades. Thanks to this, we can now go to any corner of our country, at any time of the day, without being victims. of crime," he maintained.

In this sense, he has stressed that "to make sure of it" "thousands of soldiers, police and security guards have been deployed in all tourist sites, towns, volcanoes, beaches, lakes, parks, religious, sports and cultural events" from the country. "Step by step, we continue to build the safe country that we all dream of," he added.

However, human rights organizations have warned that the state of emergency restricts certain constitutional guarantees and encourages human rights violations, arbitrary arrests and torture, among others.

  1. To a lot of people it appears like Bukele is doing a good job. He is standing up to gang violence, but some of his efforts are counterproductive.
    Recently, he rounded up about 50,000 active and former gang members. The problem with this strategy is that at least 10,000 were most likely inactive members who were trying to turn their lives around. By imprisoning them he interrupted their rehabilitation and reintegration back in the community.
    While I generally support Bukele, he must make some changes in his strategy to be effective and less counterproductive.

    1. They are acceptable casualties. If you want to get things done right then you need to be willing to sacrifice a percentage of the population. The people are made to be complicent through intimidation and force. I'm all for taking down republics and democracies and going back to Virreinatos. Democracy and republics are a satanic masonic lie. The people needs a strong catholic iron hand!

    2. So… let the virreinatos come and steal from the land and natives of the land all they do is bring religion like a bar of soap and wash the sins!! People need to make a government for the people by the people not these democrats

      I don't know why they haven't said, he is banned from running again.

      10,000 were most likely inactive? Maybe like 1,000 tops, either way they did dirt and one way or another you gotta do the time, imagine how many hard working people who had nothing to do with gangs would of been killed if those 49,000 active gang mambers were out and about? Ill rather have 1,000 inactive gang members in prison than one inocent person killed, and if they were trying to turn their lives around they'll find a way, and if they get pull back in prison well than most likely they were gonna end back up in the gang if they were out anyways

      Maybe this Bukele move may work. Congratulations for 1 month with no homicides. El Salvador is a tiny country though so I don't think Amlo can duplicate this move. I don't understand why his arab background is important to some of you.

    5. 6:05 A-Rab akchually,
      Israel is a stolen country, given by the bruttish to terrorist conquerors with claims, I mean, everybody had a right to live there not just a faction.
      The Israelis could have had a piece of Germany, whose "nazi authoritarian firm rule", THE GERMS DID NOT NEED, caused the Holocaust and WWII.
      Fascist regimes get to power through lies and abuse the powerless, to impose their Bullshit rule, like Hitlerian Staliistas, if you see the Unpresidented Disgrace speeches, you can easily see Mussolini, with an oringe wig, tromp studied and absorbed Mussolini and hitler, no wonder he got rejected and impeached and is still going to court over his pwn criminal BS.no matter how many government phones of his accomplices get erased...

    2. Well I'm a person, not people, 2:49. We as individuals need to put the irrational masses of people in their place. Doesn't matter if some of my own fall in the process
      Families after all are a bourgeoisie prejudice just like any culture, nation and religion and any other institution of the old order/world that needs to be eradicated. Mexico needs to be BALCANIZED and Aridoamerica needs to be the Iron Gate of North America where any illegal centraka and sudaca wants to come in then we'll make sure to to make Aridoamerica their living hell before reaching their promised dream land.

    3. 2:49 pm I remember how everyone was saying trump was going to get us nuked. Your boy Joe is probably going to get us nuked tho. Trump was a dickhead but Biden is a corrupt pushy who's inching us towards ww3. W III wasn't even a possibility back with Cheeto man. He at least had balls and wasn't bought off. AMLO was sucking his dick. Now AMLO wants to boot the dea from Mexico. Ball less Biden can't do shit.

      Creating spying agencies by United Fruit Co. to control SouthAmerican "revolutionaries" made communists for their pretenses of 1 more cent per kilo de bananas or of coconut pulp, that started the wars in the Banana Republics and never ending dictatorships, with US trained melitary murdering priests and American Nuns who were raped and robbed of 7 dollars and massacres like El Mozote and La Macarena mass grave in Culombia...arresting people like Bukele is doing is the lesser evil, the murdering in El Salvador is over and has been for a month, nobody is saying kill'em all like Khmer Rouge used to thanks to one more un-needed war the US lost to unfriendly chinese and russians and worst of all, US greedy "businessmen"

  12. I got deported by the Obama administration at the time. Obama deported more illegals than any other president in the USA. It’s a republican and democratic war, the dems brainwashed the Mexican/Hispanic people that they take care of us. Bullshit. I was raised in the US and lived for 25 years but born in Mexico. I was working in the agriculture when the homeland security pulled in and took as many as 60 workers. It never came out in the news, nobody ever heard about this, only our families. Now I’m back again, and love this country. I can’t vote, but my vote goes for trump! He makes this country better.
