Idk it seems fake to me
Can’t say nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu didn’t have his eye on the trend that this was likely to take from the very beginning.

That wouldn’t surprise me much either. I didn’t even do a cursory check of the news so who knows with how much lying there is going on. Would be happy to hear it’s nonsense. I’ll take some time this afternoon to check into it. If you have any other links they’d be appreciated. Thanks
Thanks, that’s all I could find this morning. Need someone actually on the ground there.

Interesting times we live in.
It's not fake. It's been reported by Spanish speaking independent people I know and fully trust.
And I can also say I've been warning about Bukele for a long while now. I speak Spanish and get the full meaning of all he says, and access to much more stuff than is reported to US-centric audiences.
Can you provide links to the independent reports? Do they write?
This is catching a lot of us English speakers by complete surprise.
What other warning signs were you referencing? For example what are some other policies or bad decisions that made you start warning people about Bukele?
There's this video from a highly reputed Spanish libertarian professor/media guy (there are maybe only a couple in the whole country, really), about this last incident:
And Bukele doesn't have any policies, that's the thing. This is basically one of the first times he seems to be about to act politically, and he chiose to do this.
His excuse until now is that he's been busy with the gangs, which I myself have publicly said here was a valid reason... with an expiry date. I have given him a pass all along and said that I hoped he would turn out OK. I didn't have a prejudice against him and I couldn't care less about the allegations that the Western media make about him.
In the meantime, every time he has spoken about his social outlook, it's been always clear he's just a run of the mill authoritarian conservative. Now he has decided to start acting like one too, so that's when I stop giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Interesting, thanks for the perspective
I’m not sure he marketed his government in the libertarian way like Milei did though.
Either way, price controls will obviously fail.
Oh, absolutely. He never did. My beef is not with Bukele (other than the fact he's a conservative authoritarian), but with all the "libertarians" who for some reason insist Bukele is one of them. That includes perhaps most of all bitcoiners, who even those who reject the label, are factual libertarians.
Interesting, and I agree on core principle. However I think there might be an ascendant “Plato’s Republican” idea in Bitcoin-

I’m not saying I agree with it. But I have to admit the limits of the sheep and their susceptibility to the socialist machine.
Are we not to help provide them a better opportunity in life?
These questions are being discussed now
