'Back in 2022, the then-ruling street gangs killed 62 people in a matter of hours.
So, Congress approved Bukele’s government’s ‘state of exception’ to vigorously tackle the gangs.
The draconian measures included suspending some constitutional rights and giving police more powers to arrest and hold suspects.
“More than 83,000 people have been arrested since, the majority jailed without due process. Bukele has said that 8,000 people who were innocent have been released.”
Bukele enjoys an extremely high popularity, because Salvadorans no longer live in fear of the gangs’ extorting, killing and forcibly recruiting.'
