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.
