The key to saving the environment is not looking backward, it’s moving forward.
I realized this the first time I visited Italy twenty years ago. Everything was clean and green. The rivers sparkled. The lesson for me was obvious: the answer is not underdevelopment. The answer is progress.
When China was poor, the air was so polluted that people could barely see the blue sky. Today, blue skies have returned to their cities. Development does not only create wealth, it also provides the resources needed to restore and protect the environment.
Some environmentalists want us to preserve every aspect of our biodiversity, including the mosquitoes for example, so that researchers can fly in once every ten years from their universities (which build particle accelerators and billion-dollar laboratories with their pocket money), study our ecosystems, and count how many people died from dengue outbreaks.
They want to buy our air through carbon credits. If carbon credits were such a great deal, they would be selling them to us, not the other way around.
Cleaning every river, lake, and water source in El Salvador, and ensuring they remain clean and sparkling, would cost roughly $12 billion. Where is that money supposed to come from without economic development? Carbon credits?
The path forward for our country is the path of Japan and Singapore, not the path of the Congo.
@JoaquinCastrotx What a steaming piece of crap you are Castro!
El Faro is the mouthpiece pamphlet of MS13.
Makes sense now, you are defending your own ilk.
Nuestro programa no se limita a la entrega de laptops. Incluye uniformes, zapatos, útiles escolares, libros de texto nuevos, una transformación profunda del currículo educativo, atención desde la primera infancia, aprendizaje desde el juego, tutores de inteligencia artificial, la capacitación de decenas de miles de docentes y la reconstrucción integral de todas las escuelas.
Pero ella vio un video de 33 segundos y le bastó para llamarlo “relumbrón político”.
Por eso, uno de los mayores deberes de cualquier gobierno es impedir que pseudo-intelectuales influyan en las políticas públicas.
Con mentes retrógradas no hay progreso posible.
@RubenGallego Democratically elected by a landslide.
One of America’s most trusted allies.
Liberated a country from gangs, put criminals in prison, returned safety, hope and freedom to his people.
More than 90% approval.
He is loved by his people.
How are you even a senator?
Madam Secretary Hillary Clinton,
If you are convinced that torture is taking place at CECOT, El Salvador is ready to cooperate fully.
We are willing to release our entire prison population (including all gang leaders and all those described as “political prisoners”) to any country willing to receive them.
The only condition is straightforward: it must be everyone.
This would also greatly assist journalists and your favorite NGOs, who would then have thousands of former inmates available for interviews, making it far easier to find additional voices critical of the Salvadoran government (or willing to confirm whatever conclusions are already expected).
Surely, if these testimonies reflect a systemic reality, a much larger pool of sources should only reinforce the claim, and many governments should be eager to offer protection.
Until then, we will continue prioritizing the human rights of the millions of Salvadorans who today live free from gang rule.
Respectfully,
Nayib Bukele
@WilliamSorianoH Con todo diputado, esa maitra anda difamando con total impunidad desde hace rato.
Si tiene pruebas que las presente y si no, que se atenga a las consecuencias legales.
Forget LinkedIn or other sites. X is the most incredible place to connect and save millions of dogs…
🐕 I help street dogs in Asia. It’s my life’s work to half the street dog population globally.
📱 Woke up one morning my phone going crazy. X users had told the president of El Salvador @nayibbukele I was the guy to possibly help.
✈️ Chatted to his team and I jumped on a plane. 5 day round trip. Chatted about how to fix the problem in an entire country as a best in class template for other nations to copy one day.
Thank you X users. You might just have saved millions of dogs in the coming years ❤️
Thousands of dogs and cats live on our streets.
We want to change that, but without cruelty.
We have the financial resources, but we seek expert partners to make it a model for Latin America 🇸🇻🐾
Who wants to come and help us?
1,000 días sin homicidios
Me recomendaron hacer una cadena nacional y dar un discurso para conmemorar este hito histórico: 1,000 días sin homicidios desde el inicio de nuestro Gobierno. Pero creo que en lugar de discursos, lo mejor es que hoy reflexionemos sobre lo que nuestro país ha vivido y sobre todas las fuerzas que intentaron impedir que llegáramos hasta aquí. Quienes siempre dicen “¡imposible!” desconocen el poder de pedir sabiduría a Dios y aceptar ser instrumentos de Él.
¡Gracias, Dios! Sin tu voluntad, NADA es posible.
Gracias también al mejor Gabinete de Seguridad que ha tenido nuestro país y a los miles de hombres y mujeres de nuestra Policía Nacional Civil y de nuestra Fuerza Armada, que arriesgaron su vida para que al fin podamos vivir en PAZ de verdad.
A los que no les gustan las medidas que se están tomando en El Salvador, no se preocupen, pueden volver a la indiferencia de antes, como cuando no les importaba lo que pasaba acá cuando mataban 30 salvadoreños diarios.
What a shot! A Singapore Airlines Cargo 747 lands on runway 24R just as a Lufthansa A380 takes off from 24L—an aviation fan’s dream moment caught live from the H Hotel on our 24/7 Airline Videos Live stream!
Este día envié este memorándum para todos los directores de escuelas e institutos a nivel nacional, para que asuman su rol como modelos de orden y disciplina para nuestros estudiantes.
Las medidas serán efectivas a partir de este miércoles 20 de agosto.
1. Constitutional changes need a supermajority in Congress, which requires an overwhelming democratic mandate.
2. Yes, let the people vote for whom they want in a free election. You’d be surprised how common this is in the First World.
3. El Salvador was remote-controlled for decades until it stopped taking poisoned recipes from abroad and achieved peace on its own terms. Most “concerns” come from groups that seek to dictate policy but couldn’t rival Bukele’s approval ratings if they were reborn.
