🇸🇻 BUEKELE DELIVERS: EL SALVADOR HOMICIDES DROP TO RECORD LOW
El Salvador hits historic low of 114 homicides in 2024, down from a staggering 6,656 in 2015.
Bukele's tough approach dropped the murder rate to just 1.9 per 100,000 - making it the Western Hemisphere's safest nation.
Citizens who once lived under gang terror now freely walk their neighborhoods.
The dramatic turnaround came after Bukele's March 2022 crackdown dismantled the country's notorious street gangs.
The success earned Bukele a landslide reelection victory, with voters backing his proven security strategy.

Competence speaks louder than criticism. In the words of Bukele himself:
“Everything in life has a cost — and the cost of being called authoritarian is too small to bother me much.”
May our leaders take note
Bukele’s success in stamping out crime is the reason politicians hate him:
It reveals that allowing crime is a choice
If a country like El Salvador could rid itself of gangs and violence...
Why can’t other countries — with objectively more power and resources — do the same?
In 2015, El Salvador had the highest homicide rate in the Western Hemisphere.
Today, it has the 2nd lowest — only Canada is safer
So how did this transformation happen?
And — more importantly — why do so many politicians hate the man responsible for it?
