Before the select audience, the Salvadoran president addressed issues of world politics, and recommended to the American people: “Fight for your freedom. Fight for your rights.

At the beginning of his speech, Bukele referred to the Salvadoran elections on Sunday, February 4, and confirmed that the political opposition “was pulverized.” «Here at the Conservative Action Political Conference they say that globalism will die, but I am here to tell you that in El Salvador it is already dead (…) But if you want globalism to die here too. “Fight for your freedom, fight for your rights,” he said while being applauded by those in attendance.
An issue that the president highlighted was the war against gangs in El Salvador, and he noted that these terrorist groups reproduced in El Salvador, after President Clinton’s immigration policies at the end of the armed conflict, and he highlighted that the gangs controlled local political parties.

In this way, the head of state put El Salvador as an example in the fight for freedom and rights, and pointed out that it took the country 50 years, two wars, 250,000 lives and a third of the exiled population to recover. the country.
«It took a miracle to recover our country. I want to respond to this warning so that we do not make the same mistakes we made in the 60s and 70s. It is not easy to recover. In fact, all the experts said it was impossible and, furthermore, you don’t want to wait 50 years and maybe wait for a miracle to get out of hell,” he said.
Bukele reiterated that the public security strategy eradicated the gang problem in a country that was known as “The murder capital of the world.”
