El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele is really stirring the pot by initiating a bribery investigation into his entire executive cabinet. He dropped this bombshell during a meeting with all executive branch officials, and the moment was even filmed for posterity. This audacious step is a continuation of his campaign to eradicate corruption and “Make El Salvador Great Again.” Fresh off a landslide reelection victory in February, Bukele is riding high with an approval rating north of 80%, largely due to his success in tackling the country’s gang violence.
Bukele earns hefty praise for his unwavering commitment to transparency, declaring that he’s setting an example other leaders should emulate. Someone might want to pass this article along to Joe Biden.
However, there’s always a chorus of critics, primarily from the left, who love to stir up trouble. They claim Bukele’s move isn’t a genuine effort to clean house but rather a PR stunt designed for the cameras.
Well, liberals, judging by the expressions on these elites’ faces, this seems to be more than just a “stunt.” It looks like the beginning of something quite substantial. Time will tell.
Remarkable video from El Salvador.
