El Salvador President Nayib Bukele: War on crime

Nayib Bukele, the President of El Salvador, has claimed a landslide victory in the recent re-election, touting his success in reducing gang violence and crime in the country. He declared himself the winner before the official results were announced, stating that he had won more than 85% of the votes and that his party had secured a significant majority in the legislative assembly.

Bukele's popularity has been attributed to his aggressive anti-crime measures, which have led to a significant drop in the country's murder rate. However, his administration has also faced criticism from human rights groups for the alleged arbitrary arrest of thousands of individuals during the anti-gang campaign.
