Latin America's new young male Authoritarian leaders

5 combined pubes between the two of em

The main problem with these (young) populists – both on the right and on the left – is that they are usually unable to resist that one tactic which in the long term ruins their country's prospects, that is messing with the presidential terms.

[quote]El Salvador's top court has ruled that presidents can serve two consecutive terms, paving the way for leader Nayib Bukele to seek re-election in 2024. The judges behind the decision were appointed in May after the National Assembly, dominated by the president's party, sacked the previous justices.

They get high on their own farts and the people love them, so what could go wrong, right? You have no idea how lucky you are in the US where this is practically impossible to change. It would take a hardcore deplorable Supreme Court bench to reinterpret that constitutional provision.

...and uncut

Don't forget Mr. Chile.

Haha so funny to see the world's first millennial leaders being TOUGH on crime!

R4. Intact

R6 Oh SHIT, that's what I meant

This thread tastes like foreskin

r5 I wouldn't bring up the Chile guy, he faceplanted hard with those constitutional changes. Believed he got elected because the people loved him so much, when actually they just hated the other guy more. His approval rating is in the toilet and I doubt he'll run again next year.

Can I join?

Are they fucking?

El Salvador's Bukele has all but eliminated gang violence.

Yes, it always starts with good news. Putin also ushered in a new era of prosperity for Russia back in the day. Problem is when they don't want to leave office.

I'm all for hot young and hung latin presidents

It has to be said that whatever Bukele is doing seems to be working, a 90% drop in homicide rates is not to be scoffed at

It will be interesting to see if the Ecuadorean cutie can achieve similar results, which will show whether Bukele's strategy can scale up/down and be adapted to different environments

Viva Bukele!

[quote]It has to be said that whatever Bukele is doing seems to be working

He only has one trick and that's suspending the habeas corpus for any man seen sporting gang tattoos and locking him up. That would yield a significant drop in crime rates anywhere, so it's not exactly rocket science.

Each society decides for itself whether an extreme measure like that is worth is. Ecuador has decided it is, most other developed countries prefer to stick to fundamental rights. It's debatable whether there's no right or wrong here because following that argument, you can soon find yourself defending countries that are locking up homosexuals. You know, because "it's their culture."

[quote]which will show whether Bukele's strategy can scale up/down and be adapted to different environments

Pretty sure robbing people of their basic constitutional right to due process can be scaled up anywhere, yes. Pray it never happens in your country though, because you might soon find yourself on the wrong side of the prison cell, so to speak.

[quote]Ecuador has decided it is

*I meant El Salvador, not Ecuador

REALLY well-said, R3.

Ecuador passes Noboa's crime referendum.

Pinochet approves.

At least Salvadorians can go to a shopping mall or supermarket without fearing that some disturbed, bullied incel will shoot them with an AR-15 or AK-47.

R23, Bukele has balls of steel for going up against MS-13.

And so does Noboa for very vocally and openly going up against the drug cartels.

They're popular for now.

Why, I must simply lead a CoDel to meet these exciting new leaders at the cutting edge of democracy!

The new Pinochets.

All of them are hot! Not all are uncut, especially the younger ones-

I love presidential man dates.

Bukele looks like a bro here.

An interesting article.

Bukele could be a hot fuck!

He is also surprisingly of Palestinian and Greek lineage.

I hope MS-13 doesn't get him.

Handsome? Bless your generous heart, OP.

R34, within the realm of politics -- which is teeming with a ton of FUGGOES apparently -- these two may as well be male models.

Half of DL would go down on Hitler himself if he had a tidier face and a hairy pooper.

Something about the homo persecution complex drives some of us to pursue our oppressors, fantasize about them, and even service them sexually.

R33 why is that surprising? No different than the rest of Latin America, or the U.S., or Australia and so on.

R37, I don't think most Salvadorans have either ethnic background, thus it stands out a bit.

There are lots of Salvadorans with non-local “ethnic backgrounds.”

R39, really? I've never met one. And I know a lot.

Yes, really.

R41, mmmkay.

[quote]Each society decides for itself whether an extreme measure like that is worth is. Ecuador has decided it is, most other developed countries prefer to stick to fundamental rights.

The people of El Salvador were living under terrorism for decades. They have finally gained their fundamental rights: the right to go about their daily lives ( and evenings) without fear of losing their lives.

Just use Google to search for Arab, Palestinian and Southern European emigration to El Salvador. You might learn something new.

If that’s too taxing, just try Wikipedia.

R44, yes, dear. I'm aware of middle Eastern immigrants in places like Mexico (hi, Salma Hayek!) and Colombia (Shakira). El Salvador? That's new to me. But thanks anyway, cunt.

You’re welcome…
