by Frances Martel, Breitbart:

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele delivered a terse speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, consisting of two parts: a victory lap on the overwhelming success of his campaign against criminal gangs, and a warning from “a friend” that it The current trajectory of the Western world will lead to a ‘new dark age for humanity’.

Bukele declared that “the free world is no longer free,” using examples such as the erosion of freedom of expression, especially on social media, and rampant crime in major Western cities. He did not mention specific cases of censorship or crime, but the Salvadoran president has in the past lamented the decline of major US cities such as New York and Baltimore and strongly condemned attempts to prosecute former US President Donald Trump as he campaigns to return return to the state.

After celebrating the “undeniable” success of his campaign to eradicate MS-13, 18th Street and other gangs that had taken over his country in five years, he suggested that El Salvador’s progress had occurred simultaneously with an ongoing decline of the “free world”. ‘ that would lead the planet to destruction.
