In a historical and powerful address at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington DC, President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador delivered a compelling message to the American public, drawing parallels between the challenges faced by his nation and those looming in the United States.
Preceded by Larry O’Connor and Ambassador Richard Grenell, Bukele was praised as a leader who addresses root causes and implements effective solutions. The duo highlighted the success of Bukele’s policies, which have prompted Salvadorans to return home, questioning the Biden administration’s skepticism of these positive changes.
Ambassador Grenell commended Bukele for his bravery and creativity, urging the region to follow his leadership. Bukele, in turn, expressed gratitude for the invitation and proclaimed the demise of political opposition in El Salvador after recent elections.
Addressing the American audience, Bukele warned about the dangers of ignoring underlying issues, using the metaphor of the boiling frog. Drawing parallels between the U.S. and El Salvador, he urged vigilance and proactive measures to prevent irreversible damage.
Bukele touched on the origins of gang violence in U.S. ghettos and emphasized the success of the Territorial Control Plan in combating gangs in El Salvador. He drew attention to rising crime in U.S. cities, including Baltimore, Portland, and New York, challenging Americans to confront the issue and avoid the pitfalls his nation faced.
Labeling El Salvador the former murder capital of the world, Bukele stressed the need to cleanse society by arresting terrorists and removing corrupt judges and attorneys. He criticized international entities, NGOs, and fake news for colluding with corrupt officials, emphasizing the importance of elected officials in decision-making.
Bukele proudly announced El Salvador’s recent landslide victory in free elections, securing a supermajority in Congress. He cautioned against global elites who resent success and fear the people’s free will to choose leaders.
In a direct reference to George Soros, Bukele declared that El Salvador had resisted manipulation and misinformation. He urged Americans to defend their institutions against undue influence, cautioning against being puppets for those with hidden agendas.
Closing his address, Bukele urged Americans to fight for their freedoms and rights, emphasizing the importance of defending the original purpose of institutions. He warned against the illusion of high taxes funding the government and urged a total reengineering of the government for lasting solutions.
Bukele concluded by encouraging Americans to reclaim their country, echoing the success story of El Salvador’s transformation from the world’s most dangerous to the safest in the Western Hemisphere. His parting words served as a rallying cry for Americans to stand up, fight, and reclaim their nation:
“We Salvadorans are the same, the decision for the direction of our nation is ours.
We transformed our country from the most dangerous in the world to the safest in the western hemisphere. We did it by defying the global elites, we told them “NO MORE”.
This is my message to you: Put up your fight, at the end will be worthy. It has been for us and at the end you will have your country back”:
