President Nayib Bukele reaffirmed his government’s vision of prioritizing public spaces and infrastructure as superior to private property, drawing parallels with advanced civilizations such as Ancient Greece and Rome.
In a recent statement, Bukele emphasized that in historically advanced societies, public property was considered the highest standard of collective legacy, while private property served only individual interests. “The collective must always be better,” the president noted, underscoring that marketplaces, hospitals, schools, and highways represent shared assets that must reflect quality and transparency.
Bukele acknowledged that change cannot occur overnight but stressed that his administration is demonstrating step by step how public funds can be directly invested in the people. “It’s about showing that when there is will, the people’s money can indeed be invested in the people themselves. There is enough money when nobody steals it,” he stated.
The president’s remarks reflect El Salvador’s ongoing commitment to building modern, transparent, and high-quality public infrastructure that benefits citizens and strengthens national development.
