Is Bukele still El Salvador’s savior? Not for all abroad - The Boston Globe An über popular president once hailed as a bold reformer by Salvadorans in the United States is now facing backlash for aligning himself too closely with Trump.

Interviewed for this piece by @marcelagarcia.bsky.social in @bostonglobe.com about the shifting perceptions among Salvadorans for Nayib Bukele due to his recent visit to kiss Donald Trump’s ring, the Kilmar Abrego Garcia error, and the ‘mass deportation meets megaprison’ arrangement.

Thanks @romangressier.com for reminding me of this piece I wrote last year. Reading it back just now it rings a bit prescient, harrowing, all too relevant to understand what’s happening now. @elfaroenglish.bsky.social

Crypto is a tool for neocolonialism in El Salvador

Beyond the Iron Fist: Mining the New El Salvador Marching towards what he calls the New El Salvador, President Nayib Bukele has revolutionized many aspects of the country's reality.

A look at Bukele's destructive antics in El Salvador, by yours truly.

"Seeking to devise new revenue streams to stave off financial crisis, Bukele’s recent designs seek to mine El Salvador—via cryptocurrency and the rush for precious minerals—to address economic stagnation and rising unemployment."
