I get you on the crime reduction popularity. My Super here in NYC is Salvadoran and I listened in on a very interesting conversation between him and a Colombian about authoritarianism and the repercussions (The Colombian is a brilliant guy and not a fan of Bukele at all -- the Super is a bit dull and loves him). The Colombian was all about "be careful what you wish for" because once a caudillo dictator gets the power he will never, ever give it up and eventually he'll have to be dealt with violently.

Add in Bukele's crypto fascination, which is going to turn into a lead anchor on the country I suspect and you've got a recipe for disaster. Unfortunately, the countries and people in the region are very tightly connected in so many ways.
 
I don't see Buckle will give up power easily. And we know that absolute power corrupts very easily.

His brother runs their basketball federation and their entire sports structure. He has poured big time money into their hoops team; have beaten him 5 times during my sting (4 of those were blowouts at home). His wife is Costa Rican...I'm sure he's very annoyed.
