El 30 de julio de 1975 la dictadura militar masacró a estudiantes de la UES.

¿Por qué los gobiernos autoritarios son hostiles a las universidades?

Lo explico en un vídeo:

[lya cuéllar @lalittlelya]

A community of farmers went to the luxury gated neighborhood where President Bukele lives to beg him to stop their eviction. The crying child in the video says: "We have nowhere to go! I know Nayib Bukele will help us."

They were beaten up, some arrested by military police.

El Salvador en guerra civil // El Salvador en "democracia", libertad y paz.

[Bryan Avelar @bavelarr]

Estos dos señores y 300 familias más llegaron hoy a pedirle ayuda al presidente Bukele frente a su casa porque están siendo desalojados de las suyas. Pusieron pancartas con la leyenda “Ayuda, presidente”. Vean ustedes cómo se abrazan entre ellos mientras se los llevan a ambos.

Gracias por este vídeo, da perspectiva al caso de "El Bosque".

Noto 2 cosas:
- el gobierno se rehusa a escuchar a gente humilde que necesita tierras para su supervivencia.
- no hay un sistema judicial independiente en el que podemos confiar para que imparta justicia.

¿1970s?

There are currently *several* US citizens indefinitely imprisoned without due process under Bukele’s state of exception

There is a direct line in Central America stretching back more than a century from US-backed military intervention, to support of reactionary oligarchies, to devastating neoliberal restructuring, to the migration crisis now exploited in US politics. https://t.co/DhXS6vVQgb
