Nayib Bukele - Biography Flash

Dive into one of the most controversial and compelling political stories of the twenty-first century. Nayib Bukele Biography Flash, hosted by Marc Ellery, delivers a comprehensive, sourced, and unflinching look at the life and leadership of El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele.

Learn how Bukele rose through local government, built a party from nothing, won the presidency, consolidated control over the legislature and judiciary, made El Salvador the first country on earth to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, and imprisoned eighty-one thousand people in one of the most dramatic anti-gang crackdowns the Western Hemisphere has ever seen. Explore the human rights questions that crackdown raised alongside the undeniable reality that ordinary Salvadorans can now walk their streets without fear. Follow the geopolitical dimensions of his alliance with Donald Trump, the use of El Salvador's mega-prison CECOT for U.S. deportation operations, and his landslide reelection with eighty-four percent of the vote despite a constitutional ban on consecutive terms.
