A supermarket in Thailand replaced plastic packaging with banana leaves. A simple idea that makes a big difference.🌿

THE CLASSROOM PROJECT: Under @nayibbukele’s Zero Leisure program, nonviolent prisoners are put to work renovating our classrooms. They aren't just serving time. They are repaying their debt to society by building a better environment for the next generation. And every day worked is a day off their sentence. Paso a paso, we are building the new El Salvador 🇸🇻

It’s striking how armchair experts rush to conclusions after looking at only a tiny slice of the data. A bit more context would significantly improve their “analysis.” El Salvador has historically had an extraordinarily high murder rate. This began during the civil war in the 1980s and never truly ended afterward, with extreme spikes in the mid 1990s and again in 2015–2016. However, the mean, and even the least violent years, remained consistently comparable to that of an active war zone (graph 1). The last year that was unaffected by our government’s anti-gang crackdown was 2018. In 2019, our administration took office, and the Territorial Control Plan was launched on June 20, 2019. That is why a sharp and sustained decline in murders becomes visible starting in July 2019 (graph 2). The murder rate continued to fall throughout 2020 and 2021 (graph 3). However, it was not until the full-scale offensive against the gangs and the State of Exception in 2022 that crime dropped to levels consistent with a safe country (graph 3). By 2023, El Salvador had become safer than the United States (graph 3), and by 2024, safer than Canada. In 2025, the murder rate fell by an additional 30%, now lower than many European countries. Importantly, not only is the murder rate now extremely low, but its composition has also changed. Approximately 90% of cases now stem from domestic violence or fights between friends involving alcohol. These are the most difficult types of crimes to prevent (you cannot place a police officer in every home). And even then, the country now achieves a total resolution and conviction rate (graph 4), which will drive the numbers even lower. This is why there are no longer unsafe areas anywhere in the country. It is also why crimes like extortion, which once affected roughly 80% of Salvadorans, have nearly disappeared. The few remaining cases are largely limited to scams or the possession of intimate information or images. In other words, we went from the Murder Capital of the World to the safest country in the Western Hemisphere, and we are on our way to becoming the safest country in the world.

Los opositores están esperando como buitres cualquier tragedia para hacer escarnio de ello, no porque les preocupe, los alimenta. Hipócritas. ¿O así les importaba cuando los homicidios eran a mansalva? Parece que babean por carroña como zopilotes por tener algo que teclear y criticar. Más que pena, dan mucha lástima.

Security → Economic Liberty → Education → Health → Infrastructure → Development

“El hecho de que haya escuelas todavía en situación fea, triste, abandonadas es la prueba del país que nos heredaron y que aún falta mucho para reconstruirlo. A veces me dicen, "Sí, Presidente, pero usted ya está en su segundo periodo, ¿por qué habla tanto de los gobiernos anteriores?" Yo lo que les digo es que es la única forma de comparar y saber de dónde venimos, en dónde estamos y hacia dónde vamos. ¿Con qué vamos a comparar a El Salvador? No lo vamos a comparar con Suiza o con Noruega. Tenemos que comparar nuestro país de ahora con nuestro país de antes”, Presidente @nayibbukele. #DosEscuelasXDía 🇸🇻

This is what schools in El Salvador looked like just a few years ago, when we were still living in a “democracy”. Thank God, everything is changing now that we live in a “dictatorship” 🇸🇻

Así eran las escuelas en El Salvador hace pocos años, cuando aún vivíamos en “democracia”. Gracias a Dios, todo está cambiando, ahora que vivimos en “dictadura” 🇸🇻

This is how our schools used to be in El Salvador: recruitment centers for gang members. And they weren’t just any gangs, but the most bloodthirsty in the world. Today, many mothers weep for their children in prison; others, for those in the cemetery or still missing. Disciplinary measures in schools are meant to prevent this tragedy from happening again. They say that those who do not know their history are condemned to repeat it. El Salvador will not repeat it, no matter how much they criticize us.

Así eran antes los centros educativos en nuestro país: lugares de reclutamiento de pandilleros. Y no eran pandillas cualquiera, sino las más sanguinarias del mundo. Hoy, muchas madres lloran a sus hijos que están en las cárceles; otras, a los que están en el cementerio o siguen desaparecidos. Las medidas de disciplina en las escuelas buscan evitar que esta tragedia vuelva a repetirse. Dicen que quien no conoce su historia está condenado a repetirla. El Salvador no la va a repetir, por más que nos critiquen.

Ahora resulta que ir ordenado, pelo bien recortadito y saludar, es “MILITARIZACIÓN” para los gorgojos de cristal. 😂 Son las mismas normas básicas de disciplina y presentación que nos exigieron a todos en los 90s y nadie andaba con babosadas.

Algunos de los puentes que hemos construido… Y vienen muchos más, incluido el nuevo viaducto Francisco Morazán, que tendrá 8 carriles, aceras, ciclovías y 1 kilómetro de longitud.

ANTES / DESPUÉS

Se nos obligaba por la fuerza, a mantener un sistema que no mejoraba la vida de la gente. Eso es lo que cambiamos, y así estamos cambiando El Salvador.

90% of developed countries allow the indefinite reelection of their head of government, and no one bats an eye. But when a small, poor country like El Salvador tries to do the same, suddenly it’s the end of democracy. Of course, they’ll rush to point out that “a parliamentary system isn’t the same as a presidential one,” as if that technicality justifies the double standard. But let’s be honest, that’s just a pretext. Because if El Salvador declared itself a parliamentary monarchy with the exact same rules as the UK, Spain, or Denmark, they still wouldn’t support it. In fact, they would go ballistic if that happened. Why? Because the problem isn’t the system, it’s the fact that a poor country dares to act like a sovereign one. You’re not supposed to do what they do. You’re supposed to do what you’re told. And you’re expected to stay in your lane.

Los descontentos como siempre se quedarán en quejas y lloriqueos de redes, porque en el fondo todos sabemos que no existe una figura que le haga sombra a Nayib y que la oposición de este país son un CERO GRANDE a la izquierda.
