What a dumb question. El Salvador is cultural as west as the US. It's news. For us in America countries, we're close to them, it's our region of the world.
Its pretty simple cause they dont like what they see, they see a young man riling up his nation for a struggle for a better future. A better future is not what some people want, well they want it only for themselves but not for others, when people lose all hope and all faith in an idea they stop caring about anything really, they will even allow themselves to become slaves, why resist when its simply pointless ? Thats the mindset some people want you to have in order to become their servant.
As a person that believe in the wonders of democracy I also must ask: ¿What is worth democracy if your country is in ruins and gangs control your life?
One could argue that democracy is working in El Salvador if the people support one party enough for it to do what needs to be done. The only time it would be a problem is if the party ruins their democracy after the crisis is over, which we will have to wait and see.
Bukeles actions are a product of people choosing him. If he refuses ro concede power or seeks to re elect himself then democracy is in danger. Also el salvador is not usa or nigeria. Please understant this actions come from a violent past of decades of civil war.
what does democracy have to do with that? nowhere does it say that you cant lock up gang members in a democracy. its all just some woke people who complain about the rights of worms or ants aswell xD they are a loud minority.
Well Human rights would rather this country has all gangs out and killing people. North American or western European politicians hate this kind of progress for these countries. Reason Human rights in these countries actively fight governments against crack down of gangs

@@pzl1711 Well you clearly did not watch the video as they gave no indication of the actual figures. Which demonstrate the fall in the level of violent crime so dramatically which is why whining lib media don't mention them.
@@juniorsalazar5890 Possibly, but I'm just a British Citizen who likes to look at foreign News. I would suggest US State Department or El Salvadorian groups o[inion be sought.
A democracy that is ran by gangs is not a democracy to begin with... So nothing is in danger because nothing existed. The only thing that had been in danger was the safety and lives of the so many people who were suffering under the previous status.
Do the news people feel any shame when they realize that 90% of el Salvadorians are in full support of all of this? Or the fact that every normal thinking person in the comment section also agree's with what Nayib Bukele is doing?
Rediculous comments. People first have to be safe. Then they can worry about Democracy. This was a long time in coming. Put the bad guys away. Protect innocent citizens
We salvadorans are finally free, Bukele has put gangs in jail and the congress has approved changes in laws that won't allow gang members to be out to commit crimes again, not in El Salvador, not anymore. That's why we love our President Bukele.
It would be just in our dreams,the Demorats would not allow it,they are ,up to today defund the police,If You don't believe me just watch what's happening in California.
Considering when they started doing this their murder rate has dropped to insane low levels I say every country should do this. Imagine rounding up every know gang member in America and being able to walk down the street with no fear.
You can only speak for yourself, my friend. Some prefer freedom more, some prefer safety over freedom. There has to be a good balance between the two, I would say.
@@billcarson818the balance doesn't matter when your life is the very thing that's in danger. You can't ask us to worry about rights for prisoners over our own lives.
@@Valentina.Montano Even if some prisoners are unjustly made prisoners? That could happen to you too then. "he balance doesn't matter when your life is the very thing that's in danger." Of course. But if you endanger the lives of other innocent people in the process, its not good, if not hypocritical. I don't think there is a simple answer or process to solve it. Its delicate.
Who's to say they aren't free? Being able to simply live without fear of you and your loved ones being extorted, assaulted, or murdered, certainly sounds like freedom to me.
@@grilla4464 Well, some countries don't have as many job opportunities, far from it. And what happens to those who can't get a job because there is not enough available? What would you do? Just die voluntarily?
We may be concerned as outsiders about the state of democracy in El Salvador but the fact is, democracy has failed this country and its innocent civilians. Democracy is so easily corruptible in such a small state. The gangs and criminal elements had this government by the balls for decades. Bukele's solutions are the first in this country's history that promise some sustainable reprieve from violence for a nation of people who would like nothing more than to be able to focus on development, improving people's living standards and retaining its own young people, instead of fighting civil wars and gang wars with democratically elected leaders who take bribes from the different factions to sustain the conflict and drug trades.
You put it very clearly,only a fool,well,there are a bunch of fools out there,SO many fools can not understand the situation, specially most of the media.
Sometimes you gotta wonder if its like vlads "approval ratings" some towns vote more then there is people. Either they love him so much they commit voter fraud to vote twice, or vlad is stuffing the ballot box.
I have family members who where gangs / thieves in El Salvador when’d they got jail I was happy to learn that so they learn to be humble and work and live a honest life but they won’t learn I know they will probably rot in jail and is fine by me
In order for your country to succeed, you need to put your own corrupted/criminal friends and family members in prison without making a deal with them. It is the only way to change that mindset with efficiency for the future generations who deserves better. My father was a loser and I permanently disowned him because it was destroying our family really badly. As an individual, it is your responsibility to deserve a better healthier life for yourself and your future kids in order for them to succeed.
Freedom from violent crime and intimidation seems to be an incredible value for those in El Salvador, Screw the cartels and put them in jail; who cares how many square meters they have?
Words of wisdom, try telling that to the oligarchs and plutocrats who run the US. They'll start jumping and screaming communist, communist, socialist, socialist at the thought.
A democracy that does no good is not really a democracy, or a failed democracy. Because a democracy is supposed to represent its people and work for them. A lot of democracies are corrupt, unfortunately. Very important is also that the right of every citizen is being valued and protected.
The president is putting the foundation to achieve what You are talking about,in order to improve the economy You have to get rid of the cáncer cells, i.e,gangs,corrupt politicians,If You don't then it would be useless to talk about the future,kudos to the president.
They call themselves " specialists " only they have never experienced the horrors the people of El Salvador have suffered under the threat of dead by these terrorists. Their opinions are worth nothing to honest hard working Salvadoreans. End of the story...
You cannot allow democratic laws to protect terrorist. Gangs have manipulated the laws to their favor far too long. It is proper to inflict fear into the hearts of theese criminals/terroristas. THE PREDATOR MUST BECOME THE PREY.
I know their citizens must be relieved to get away from such violent crime. I like their president. Who else will stand up for and protect the people of El Salvador.
IF it doesn't affect your daily life, leave it alone. As a child whose family suffered in the 80s I can say it's about time someone had the balls to make changes, remove and penalize those that have been in power as they fill their pockets while the country loses hope in a better future for their children. It is easy to give an opinion when it doesn't personally affect you. Bukele has grown up seeing all the unfairness, particularly to the poor. After the civil war, the gangs came to further damage the already battered country. Enough is enough! If changing the democracy is what it takes to keep my family safe who remain living there... then so be it.
If a murder rate in a country massively drops. Then they must be doing something right. Like how Lee Kuan suppressed some elements of democracy in the beginning stages in order to transform Singapore the country it is today.
im not salvadoran but even i know he reduce the size of parliament due to the previous government randomly increasing the size of the parliament and this new government cchanged it back to what it was. and do tell me which coountry with a high court system doesnt appoint people that are favourable to the party at the time
Nothing wrong with democracy in El Salvador you are the problem by saying that. Bukele has saved so many lives . You’re are literally lying please said the truth.
What really matters is what comes next. What's his plan for the long run past his government? While this type of action is essential it means nothing without a long term strategy.
It's funny how people who live in high castles talk about human rights and do nothing. While his methods are very hard he is providing his country with results. Also, the US need to take a hardline with our southern neighbors on immigration. You CAN NOT just walk up and expect to be let in.
Bukele is the best president we have ever had, we the law abiding citizen are happy and we want Bukele for another 50 years, now tell me a name of a jornalist that has been detained, of course you won,t have one, In 200 year he has been the only one who stood up to the corruption and colonialism, please come to El Salvador and see by yourself how free we are..
america does not want any country to grow and prosper. thats the kind of president every country needs, your life and your safety is more important than anything else. what you gonna do with democracy when you are not even alive?
'Experts' that have never stayed one night at a gang infested community. Came from El Salvador yesterday, felt safe wherever I went , drove alone into rural areas, friendly people, highways, roads and streets clean. Bukele recently announced a crack down on corruption.
They talk about democracy but when the gangs were running rampant, there was no democracy The people of El Salvador had to make a choice under whose rule they wanted to live.
Bukele has the balls, he even told the human right watch to fu@&, humans rights are for good citizens, humans rights are for every day workers, are not the same for criminal, the USA government doesn’t have the balls right now to face the criminal, one small example I hate seeing all those graffiti’s in freeways signs you can hardly read them, in my country if they catch you that’s a 5 years behind bars right now, in USA if you call the police probably they don’t even come, they are afraid if the guy falls and gets injured he could sue the government, and if he doesn’t get injured he spends maybe 2 days in jail, so the next week he is doing the same again, we don’t need more laws we just need to in force the laws, let’s put the criminal were they belong, too bad because is just going to get worse!
I hope the people of El Salvador continue to do what they know is best for their country. I hope they don't listen to the opinions of Westerners who will pay no price for being wrong. These are the kinds of people who think letting criminals out of prison and defunding their police forces are bright ideas.
Democracy is what gave Nuevas Ideas the all branches of the government. Salvadoran people VOTED for his party to be there. How is this dangerous for the for democracy in El Salvador? People have the power to choose who they want their government to be.
In order to undertand Democracy " you have to look at your country's own policies and ask the same questions you are asking about El Salvador. There is now Freedom in El Salvador . the Republican party dominated the senate and all braches of Salvadorean Government for over 40 years and they stole Millions of $ from their Citizens. I do get why Bukele is doing what he is doing, wipping out corrupted politicians something that should have been done decades ago. I lost 5 nephews and nieces in El Salvador , I lost friends over the gang violence " where were their Human RIghts when they were killed , No one spoke out about this ?. The Goverment of El SAlvador was involved with the gangs and made a lot of money by money laundering, My family which is poor was extorted by gangs for over 15 years You can not be an expert on a foreing country policies when you have not lived there for one day.
Read about the crooks and assassins before Bukele, a country of killers pandilleros, with thousands of people killed by them compared with no killings now!!!
5,000 are still set free, but those innocent are not so innocent, they committed crimes like extortion but it was UNDER COERCION, so they are set free when the police prove they didn't do it voluntarily. Compared to before we have more rights than before: right to free movement, right to safety, right to social gatherings (we were not allowed to go to zones under enemy gangs of our neighborhood), sexual rights (before girls were raped and forced to have children for gangsters), economic rights (no more extortions). Why do you think we have less right now than when the government was run by the gangsters?
Wow!!! I would call it ignorance. We the people of El Sslvador voted to give presiident Bukele the power to put gangs in jail, so we can live a normal life like you do in your country. That's it, very simple, go to El Salvador and ask people what is happening here, very simple.

@@hinthegroove9740 Wasn't that an interesting little factoid. It makes a lot of sense. I recently read that overall out migration from El Salvador to the US was down significantly. There was a recent mass escape from a super jail in El Salvador; next stop for the escapees, the US.
@@amenbrother8818no, it was not an escape from jail, those guys were the ones who had not been captured yet, they got help from Mexican cartels to avoid the military and police. No gangster has escaped from prison in El Salvador.

She is doing her analyses from home or she already went to El Salvador to do get them. It looks to me that she is been gathering all the negative info from the internet and talking based on what she sees. That is not how things are done.!! You need to to go to that specific country and ask the citizens their opinion and get your conclusions from there. Not just seating at home and looking throughout the internet what the opposition think and say. I want to see this lady go to El Salvador to gather more information in how people are living now under the president Bukele administracion. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What is important is it democracy or life and peace as well as prosperity, if democracy sufferers for peace, life and prosperity be it so, it will be a temporary period. Media should have a wider and large picture.
This video amd these comments paint a very stark image of El salvador. The question I would ask. Do the goals justify the means? I do not live in El selvador, so I have no clue. What I see is a gang problem and a government using its last possible resort to tackle this issue. Is there a goal of when these emergency acts will end? Is it planned to return too a free press? How did the gang problem even become so critical to this nation and how does the emergency act promise to end theae problems?

Bukele is the best president we have ever had, we the law abiding citizen are happy and we want Bukele for another 50 years, now tell me a name of a jornalist that has been detained, of course you won,t have one, In 200 year he has been the only one who stood up to the corruption and colonialism, please come to El Salvador and see by yourself how free we are..
america does not want any country to grow and prosper. thats the kind of president every country needs, your life and your safety is more important than anything else. what you gonna do with democracy when you are not even alive?
USA needs to do this next! What else matters if you're not safe!? 🇺🇸
'Experts' that have never stayed one night at a gang infested community. Came from El Salvador yesterday, felt safe wherever I went , drove alone into rural areas, friendly people, highways, roads and streets clean. Bukele recently announced a crack down on corruption.
What good is democracy if you can't walk down the street? Safety is a basic human need.
Need this in New Zealand
They talk about democracy but when the gangs were running rampant, there was no democracy The people of El Salvador had to make a choice under whose rule they wanted to live.
Not dangerous, safety it's different. Thanks God for President Bukele. We want him forever.
Bro this is good! Absolute security! For the whole country!!!
This is what should have happened in the US during the BLM RIOTING
United states need to do.
God Bless Nayib Bukele and the free people of El Salvador...
Bukele has the balls, he even told the human right watch to fu@&, humans rights are for good citizens, humans rights are for every day workers, are not the same for criminal, the USA government doesn’t have the balls right now to face the criminal, one small example I hate seeing all those graffiti’s in freeways signs you can hardly read them, in my country if they catch you that’s a 5 years behind bars right now, in USA if you call the police probably they don’t even come, they are afraid if the guy falls and gets injured he could sue the government, and if he doesn’t get injured he spends maybe 2 days in jail, so the next week he is doing the same again, we don’t need more laws we just need to in force the laws, let’s put the criminal were they belong, too bad because is just going to get worse!
Your Spanish pronunciation is on point
President Bukele is doing an awesome job protecting his citizens.
We need Law and Order... We need a no nonsense President!
Bukele is the BEST thing that has happened to El Salvador!!! My full support for Bukeke!
I hope the people of El Salvador continue to do what they know is best for their country. I hope they don't listen to the opinions of Westerners who will pay no price for being wrong. These are the kinds of people who think letting criminals out of prison and defunding their police forces are bright ideas.
Long life to BUKELE
Democracy is what gave Nuevas Ideas the all branches of the government. Salvadoran people VOTED for his party to be there. How is this dangerous for the for democracy in El Salvador? People have the power to choose who they want their government to be.
democracy is not all that it’s cracked up to be
Full support for your government from India 🇮🇳 ❤❤
Build a colosseum as the Romans did.
This report is in example of hypocrite media go to New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and ask the homeless. What do you think about democracy?
Who are the ones leaving El Salvador? Criminals?
Damnnnnn babygirl that Spanish accent is crazy sexy Nicole 🇲🇽🇲🇽
Imagine having to have a state of emergency because of narco gangs.
I wish india was like this...
In order to undertand Democracy " you have to look at your country's own policies and ask the same questions you are asking about El Salvador. There is now Freedom in El Salvador . the Republican party dominated the senate and all braches of Salvadorean Government for over 40 years and they stole Millions of $ from their Citizens. I do get why Bukele is doing what he is doing, wipping out corrupted politicians something that should have been done decades ago. I lost 5 nephews and nieces in El Salvador , I lost friends over the gang violence " where were their Human RIghts when they were killed , No one spoke out about this ?. The Goverment of El SAlvador was involved with the gangs and made a lot of money by money laundering, My family which is poor was extorted by gangs for over 15 years You can not be an expert on a foreing country policies when you have not lived there for one day.
Read about the crooks and assassins before Bukele, a country of killers pandilleros, with thousands of people killed by them compared with no killings now!!!
Bro leave El Salvador alone the president is doing good to his country better then our president in usa right now …
5,000 are still set free, but those innocent are not so innocent, they committed crimes like extortion but it was UNDER COERCION, so they are set free when the police prove they didn't do it voluntarily. Compared to before we have more rights than before: right to free movement, right to safety, right to social gatherings (we were not allowed to go to zones under enemy gangs of our neighborhood), sexual rights (before girls were raped and forced to have children for gangsters), economic rights (no more extortions). Why do you think we have less right now than when the government was run by the gangsters?
What they need is a stable government to end the crime wave
el salvador pres will also face the same fate as Duterte. Pleasing criminals is one pillar of democracy
Wow!!! I would call it ignorance. We the people of El Sslvador voted to give presiident Bukele the power to put gangs in jail, so we can live a normal life like you do in your country. That's it, very simple, go to El Salvador and ask people what is happening here, very simple.
The Bald and Beautiful TH-cam video creator (a Brit) travels the globe doing videos about the countries he visits. He recently went to Venezuela, then the most dangerous city in Venezuela, then the most dangerous part of the most dangerous city in Venezuela. He was perfectly safe, the locals said all the local gangsters had migrated to the US.
I remember watching that
@@hinthegroove9740 Wasn't that an interesting little factoid. It makes a lot of sense. I recently read that overall out migration from El Salvador to the US was down significantly. There was a recent mass escape from a super jail in El Salvador; next stop for the escapees, the US.
@@amenbrother8818no, it was not an escape from jail, those guys were the ones who had not been captured yet, they got help from Mexican cartels to avoid the military and police. No gangster has escaped from prison in El Salvador.
@@Valentina.Montano ty for that clarification.
Remove the sanctions and they will stay. Problem solved 😊😊😊.
Wow these pundits don't even know what those gangs have done.
Guess who gave Bukek power, WE THE PEOPLE
This is a bad report. The rule of law is *strengthening.*
Should the world send all their criminals to Germany now? They would be treated nicely. So confused on DW.
Imagine how mad "The West" would be if China released a plant virus equivalent of COVID 19 that targets poppy and coca... LOL
Are you talking about democracy 😂😂😂😂😂
What about America and other European countries violating human rights😮😮
I don't like betting, but if I put my money in. This so called Expert on this issue doesn't stay in El salvador nor like to stay in the area. HYPOCRITE AT IT'S BEST!
They've also embraced bitcoin for the people and the democratization of finance 👍
Yet the presenter talks about him reducing democracy, how hilarious..😂
Not ur Country. They can do and have whatever country they want
Democracy is worth shi* if the people are not living in relative safety and prosperity
She is doing her analyses from home or she already went to El Salvador to do get them. It looks to me that she is been gathering all the negative info from the internet and talking based on what she sees. That is not how things are done.!! You need to to go to that specific country and ask the citizens their opinion and get your conclusions from there. Not just seating at home and looking throughout the internet what the opposition think and say. I want to see this lady go to El Salvador to gather more information in how people are living now under the president Bukele administracion. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Horrible reporting.
What is important is it democracy or life and peace as well as prosperity, if democracy sufferers for peace, life and prosperity be it so, it will be a temporary period. Media should have a wider and large picture.
This video amd these comments paint a very stark image of El salvador. The question I would ask. Do the goals justify the means? I do not live in El selvador, so I have no clue.
What I see is a gang problem and a government using its last possible resort to tackle this issue. Is there a goal of when these emergency acts will end? Is it planned to return too a free press? How did the gang problem even become so critical to this nation and how does the emergency act promise to end theae problems?
5,000 are still set free, but those innocent are not so innocent, they committed crimes like extortion but it was UNDER COERCION, so they are set free when the police prove they didn't do it voluntarily. Compared to before we have more rights than before: right to free movement, right to safety, right to social gatherings (we were not allowed to go to zones under enemy gangs of our neighborhood), sexual rights (before girls were raped and forced to have children for gangsters), economic rights (no more extortions). Why do you think we have less right now than when the government was run by the gangsters?
why doesn´t the commentator go sort out the gangs herself? another armchair expert
Good for him
Let him do his job .god is with us
Well this "news" report was extremely bias...
