Quite the democracy they have there in ElSalavador

“SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — El Salvador President Nayib Bukele ordered police via social media on Monday to arrest five heads of bus companies in the Central American country after they defied his order to offer free transport for a week following a major highway closure.

The order was another example of Bukele’s heavy-handed tactics. The second-term leader has been accused of undermining democratic institutions, punishing dissenters and denying access to due process under a “state of emergency” that he declared in 2022 to battle the country’s powerful street gangs. Despite the crackdown, the government has denied the country is a police state.“

says “we are not a police state after arresting 5 bus companies owners for defying the orders of il duce”

its like trading one authoritarian govt for another.

cant we get some common sense in the world nations.

Interesting. Public transportation in those countries is run by unions.

They can easily shut down whole cities and even large parts of the country. And others like taxis often go out in “solidarity.”

I imagine their margins are so tight they can’t afford to wait months for bureaucratic promises that may not be fulfilled.

This could be a major problem for him.

I have no doubt that a yuge soap opera is happening all over the orange-addicted media.

Out here, everyone is getting ready for work, school, their daily lives, etc… Two roosters are on my property greeting the morning sun. It’s just another normal, beautiful Spring day. :sunglasses:

What would happen if Trump were to that here?

This is a politics forum.

what would happen if any president did that here?

And……

There are roughly 1,611,000 people living in slavery in Nigeria, 727,000 in Ethiopia, and 442,000 in Egypt.

Where are your crocodile tears for these people.

Oh wait, can’t attempt to use that against Trump.

Weak, very weak.
