“Governors must understand that problems are not resolved by decree, but with actions”, he added on that occasion.

El Salvador has been under an emergency regime since March 2022, decreed after an escalation of homicides attributed to gangs and whose purpose is to combat these criminal groups, also called terrorists.

For all the “Bukele lovers,” he said in reference to the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, it is a prison “equal, equal. If they want to go, take a walk, meet her, stay one night, they can go, commit a crime”, he noted jokingly amid laughter from the interviewers.
