Living with respectable laws
Today I am going to tell you my ideas about the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, and the implementation of his zero-tolerance policy for crime.
This president and his ideas have been strongly questioned in all social networks, either speaking in favor and also against. We all know that we are people who like to express our opinions strongly and with conviction about things that surpass our understanding. I want to say that I do not know the president of El Salvador well enough to defend his words or not but so far the things I have heard from his lips I have liked.

I can also point out that every country is independent in its ideas. What better than a president elected voluntarily by his people to establish the rules that will get his country out of the misery in which they are submerged?
I have been following him in the networks to inform and document myself about his idea of destroying the gangs and mafias in the streets, especially those that have been harassing the common and working citizens of his country.
Before his launch, he was a well-known businessman who tried to enter politics through the common parties and did not succeed. Subsequently, he launched his party and was elected, and now has the approval of the people who accept his anti-crime policies.
He has received strong reprisals from some presidents of other countries who question the use of the mega prison and the lack of consideration for the prisoners there. They talk about the absence of human rights and the lack of respect for the inmates in many aspects.

I believe that an autonomous country, that applies laws that have given them results to reduce their crime and the big mafias, should be emulated and not criticized especially by countries that in so many years of government have not been able to reduce even in a smaller percentage the crime in their population.
I am referring to the double standards with which some countries want to importune themselves trying to explain to the world that the poor people who are there in those prisons with subhuman conditions and who are individuals belonging to the great corrupt criminal mafias, their human rights are not taken into account.
I wonder if they have realized that these criminals violated the right to life, to work, to health, and many other benefits to a large population of human beings who have wanted to live in peace for many years, and this population today deprived of their freedom did not allow it?
I do not agree with the evil and lack of love for people of different conditions. I disagree with injustice, loss of values, and non-implementation of truth in all aspects of life. And if the use of truth and applying human values leads to the implementation of justice for all then I am one hundred percent in agreement with that policy.
Love your neighbor as yourself, so says the word of God...
Did the criminals love those who were murdered, raped, violated, or outraged?
Did they not know that they had to submit to the law of man?
Now that they are under the yoke of the law, let them accept the penalty for their faults according to the law of man, which they will also have in their judgment with the law of God.
Very personally I believe that presidents like this Mr. Bukele should have in all the countries where we have voted to have peace, tranquility, rules to be respected, dignified work and to be a free individuals to transit happily in all the streets and in the hours that you want to transit.
My respects to this great country of El Salvador, its president, and the people who elected him.
Hello my beautiful friend Gertu, I hope you have not forgotten me, I send you a big hug, as I missed reading your articles.
As a Venezuelan, as a Latin American, I deeply understand what the President of El Salvador is doing, before Mr. Bukele was elected by Salvadorans to lead the country, the only news that was broadcast from this Central American country was violence, death, neglect, corruption, gangs who thought they owned the country.
Curiously no president of Latin America or the world made any comment or tried to help the Salvadorans and even these human rights organisations played dumb. But as you rightly mention the double standards of the world, now if everyone is aware of what happens in El Salvador, now if the world is interested in this poor country, curiously all the media live attentive to the slightest thing that happens there, even read a Latin American President giving advice to Mr. Bukele on how to treat prisoners but this President who gave advice has a country with violent deaths, criminal gangs that roam everywhere and guerrillas commanding...
All the countries of the world need a Bukele, to put order and justice in every street, city, town, state, where citizens can feel safe, we can feel free, we can go out without fear, where no rat comes to take the life of another because he felt like it, my respects for your wise words beautiful friend. Forgive the length of my commentary.
