El Salvador's government, led by President Nayib Bukele, is drawing in a wave of foreign right-wing admirers who are captivated by a selective portrayal of the country as a safer and modern place. This is reminiscent of the era when foreign leftist tourists visited Cuba. Bukele's leadership, marked by aggressive measures against gangs and the suspension of legal rights, is repackaged into a glossy image, diverting attention from the regime's brutal practices. Such admiration echoes the historic fans of Che Guevara, focusing only on the surface allure while ignoring deeper issues.
Bukele's government captivates foreign fans, promoting a curated view of El Salvador that omits its authoritarian practices and legal transgressions.
The international admiration for Bukele resembles that of Che Guevara, presenting a glamorous facade rather than addressing harsh realities.
