He did. Anyone who lives in El Salvador or has family in El Salvador knows the difference is night and day. I used to think I would never, EVER go back to El Salvador but now I think I will.
The time has come for a true change in El Salvador. I trust in God, in the president, and in the salvadorean community. El Salvador will overcome this madness. Looking forward to going back to my country to invest in a business to create jobs. After 37yrs of a lifetime in the USA I finally I can see me heading pack home and help others.

4 years later , i just came back from el salvador with my brothers and friends, something i couldn’t do back in 2019. everything is so safe , it’s incredible
My parents fled El Salvador in 1990, I was born in Canada. I'm glad the country is finally heading towards the right direction, I've always wanted to visit their hometown without any worry but family back home have told us multiple times not to come
"He doesn't want people to go, I don't want people to leave," "Not only the image, I think it's called momentum," "Yeah hope. Hope is a great engine." All great lines! A charismatic president, and an informative video.
A lot of us from the United States are socially liberal and believe in human rights but for LAWFUL CITIZENS! We applaud your efforts and wish you continued success!
Wow, as a Salvadorian I feel so good reading positive comments from people who don’t judge the country by other’s opinion. I hope everything works out for El Salvador and all the people there.
Wow how amazing this is. Thank you for showing tge reality my country is going through. I came to the United States as a legal immigrant, because god honored me with that opportunity. But when I was there porverty was what I and my family used to suffer the most. Now that I'm here I want to see my people to grow and have the same opportunities we have here. Perhaps, it may not happen right now, but thanks to president @Nayibbukele because he has given hope to my country and already started doing like every president should do for it's nation.
“Peace” is nothing but a fleeting hope for places like El Salvador, regardless of who comes to the table first. He seems like a genuine guy with the right idea in mind but I’ll wait and see if this can actually materialize into anything. Sadly for him, history (and the US) haven’t been too kind to Central American nations in the past.
I wish that central America and the US can turn a new leaf, in this case some of our special forces help train their guys to hunt down and capture or kill MS13 terrorists
If you look into his past achivements as mayor, you'll see what his intentions with the nation are. The man not only talks the talk but walks the walk.
@@saul3965 here's a link to a news report (spanish) they did about "Nuevo Cuscatlan" and they mention a few things he did for the locals. Not only the locals dont want to migrate north (USA) but they believe theres better chances of living a decent, honest and dignified life. ruclips.net/video/_X0c1KHQkOs/видео.html
I exist because of the funded death squads of the 80's that overthrew El Salvador's government and who's remnants formed the current gang landscape. My father, a government official of that time, escaped; and the loss of his country, family, and friends had scarred him to his core. He created a family in Canada and decades later we are here, cheering for the revival of the great engine of the El Salvadorian people and praying for the new leaders that they overcome all in the face of so much pain and anguish.
im on the same boat as you bud. my mom and dad also fleed El Salvador when the war started escalating immensely. I live in the US but share a similar story. Neither of my parents will go back because they just arent willing to take the risk. While my mom went to college over there, her and her sister were caught in the middle of a horrendous slaughter that the government committed against its own people while they marched in protest. She and her sister had to hide in a nearby church while the chaos settled down and they said when the dust settled they came out to a horror scene of dead bodies everywhere. How anyone can be ok after that is beyond me and I know my mother suffered because of it. I really hope El Salvador gets the help it needs because I sure would like to visit there someday so I can see where my parents came from and experience my roots firsthand.
Wonder if we're related from my mom's side because my family also played important roles in politics. Bukele is related from my dad's and mom's side as I'm Palestinian and Salvadoran.
I love his thinking. My dad is from El Salvador and we haven’t gone back since 2012 and I’ve been dying to go back but we couldn’t because of all the violence. I trust the new President and I hope he brings peace to this beautiful country. 👍🏽🇸🇻
El Salvador has gone through pure shit non-stop for years now, I hope these upcoming years bring happiness and hope back to Salvadoreños! I hope they don’t have to keep running away from their own motherland because of serious crimes and poverty! There’s always hope for us ya heard? 🇸🇻 💙
I know right? His 'journalism' really frustrated me like he didn't allow the President to talk in the beginning. And his questions were worded in a way to make the guy look like he doesn't have a plan for the country. Like give fair reporting man. Give the new guy a chance to explain thoroughly what he plans to do.
I don’t like how the interviewer interrupted and then stuck his hand in his mouth. Also, good luck El Salvador, the world is proud of you for fighting for change
Wow 😮 I’m so proud to have a president like him in El Salvador. He is working in many areas of our country to fight with the violence. Go Nayib Bukele 💪
It's really a welcome development, I've been into Bitcoin through a minim company for long now and it's been an amazing profits even before the Covid issues
@@mikallopez4015 Bitcoin is very easy with an expert, and it's even more easy because Bitcoin atms is now installed in El Salvador and it's making transactions so fast and easy
It would be great if the US and El Salvador get through this together!!! More jobs!!! No more crime. No more murder . - Fight bullets with jobs Big hugs to yall brothers in El Salvador From the USA.
I really hope that he can turn his country around, he seems like a good guy. I have faith that he can do it. Good luck Mr. President, from the USofA 🇺🇸. If he can get rid of the gang problems, then he deserves the job.
I love that he’s trying to create jobs so that families don’t have to go through the trouble of reaching the border and crossing. It’s honestly repulsive how these gang members think they’re some sort of Robin Hood while killing innocent people and ruining lives.
What makes it more disgusting is they aren't even doing it for themselves they are only taking orders from politicians and Rich families.... stupid pawns.
Comentarios de un sujeto que no tiene ni la más mínima idea de como en realidad está el país... O seguramente pasas solo viendo la Britanny o en el peor de los casos solo hablas porque vivís en EEUU. El país está lejos de ser un país sano y seguro... Nayib no es ni nunca será un líder de verdad, ni una persona humilde y estadista de verdad. Como podes decir que el país es más seguro que nunca cuando hay muchos desaparecidos a diario, el gobierno no lo puede ni quiere explicar y el plan control territorial es toda una falacia.. Cuando hables de la situación del país hacelo pero porque tenes propiedad de verdad, no sólo porque sos salvadoreño y crees que eso ya te da el derecho de hacerlo.

Central American needs him. Not just el Salvador. Surrounding countries are dealing with the same problems. But el Salvador is the first country to actually get a real leader like bukele. He can def change el Salvador.

That’s right
As a Salvadoran-American, I’m happy for a potential turnaround for El Salvador. I have a lot of confidence in their new president and praying that my fellow Salvadorans will get back the peace and dignity that they deserve. ARRIBA EL SALVADOR!!! 🇸🇻💯👍🏻
Sorry but that will never happen
:(. Even tho I’m still Salvadoran and half American. I still want a turn around for El Salvadoran
Quick GuessWho guess what, it’s been less than a year and he already proved you wrong
@@dogg7549 you Salvadoran my freinds born in USA
but where imdid he come from? He looks like he'a from the middle east
He did. Anyone who lives in El Salvador or has family in El Salvador knows the difference is night and day. I used to think I would never, EVER go back to El Salvador but now I think I will.
I recently went and would recommend you go. It's amazing what he did there
I’m glad to see my country rising up. Proud of our new president 🙌🏼
@Stephen Clark Salvadorans aren't even the 3rd largest Hispanic group of immigrants.
@Stephen Clark
How sad it must be to have such a narrow perspective and lack of understanding. Praying for your enlightenment.
Stephen Clark I am willing to bet money you would not work the hard labor jobs y’all claim to have lost to immigrants
Stephen Clark it amazing how dum some people can be. If maybe you get off your ass maybe immigrants can stop taking the jobs you want
All the luck to you guys. Build your country up.
El Salvador is truly a beautiful country and deserves a better reputation!

Literally the first president to actually care for my country and not rob from them I’ve never been so glad
He lost your country alot of $ in bad BTC investments (crashed prices bought at 33k+) but he’s a badass
He indeed fulfilled his promise, the lying corrupt politicians in the west should learn

This guy have a great wisdom good luck from the USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@Bryan Bradleydid you also get the stimulus check though😄
My relatives that still live in El Salvador are so happy that proper change is finally there, hopefully the good news continues!
I'm glad he kept his word
I hope he stays in office man!!!
The time has come for a true change in El Salvador.
I trust in God, in the president, and in the salvadorean community.
El Salvador will overcome this madness.
Looking forward to going back to my country to invest in a business to create jobs.
After 37yrs of a lifetime in the USA I finally I can see me heading pack home and help others.
Must importantly back home sweet home 🏡

This man right here is a great leader much respect the future of el salvador looks bright..hope to one day move there
He seems like a man that can change the world
But I worry about his safety and how cooperative other politicians will be with him
He is a millionaire, corporates is what he does
Said Flores do you think he’ll be the same since he is a millionaire? :/ I hope not
He is secure. How ever he is not a dictator. Other politicians that work for themselves are blocking him and not allowing him to press for change.
Thats what I been saying. I'm afraid he might be backstabbed and murdered.
🤔Meee too.
With God’s help, OF COURSE he can and he will! El Salvador 🇸🇻 will prosper and get better!
Blessings ❤️
God is good and he will help Bukele make El Salvador a better and SAFER place for everyone!!
End corruption!
Mr President don't stop,MS never stop the country need peace and you are the solution.
He is jesus christ .
Lmao Trump gonna send Elliott Abrams back to central America to genocide more of innocent people & pay gangs to do it. Oh wait, they already do that with their "foreign aid"
We need a brand new documentary 😢because Nayib Bukele said what he was gonna do and he’s done it. Today May 6-2023 is another bright story to tell about El Salvador ❤I’m visiting that country and see with my own eyes finally. 2Bcontinue… and let’s progress together 😅

4 years later , i just came back from el salvador with my brothers and friends, something i couldn’t do back in 2019. everything is so safe , it’s incredible
All the best to you El Salvador , may you be protected , prosperous, happy & healthy
Hope he can make a difference. I would love to show my children their roots 💔
Have you?
I agree 100%. He should not do what the Colombian government did and give it's rivals political legitimacy.
Well said!
My parents fled El Salvador in 1990, I was born in Canada. I'm glad the country is finally heading towards the right direction, I've always wanted to visit their hometown without any worry but family back home have told us multiple times not to come
Everyone should believe in change , much love to El Salvador from Morocco ❤❤❤❤
"He doesn't want people to go, I don't want people to leave," "Not only the image, I think it's called momentum," "Yeah hope. Hope is a great engine." All great lines! A charismatic president, and an informative video.
Glad to see Higuain has moved on from football

this is so good
I was looking for this comment 🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao 😂

Soy Mexicano pero respeto mucho al presidente Salvadoreño! Que Dios se los cuide y acompañe en sus proyectos en purificar su hermoso país
A lot of us from the United States are socially liberal and believe in human rights but for LAWFUL CITIZENS! We applaud your efforts and wish you continued success!
Wow, as a Salvadorian I feel so good reading positive comments from people who don’t judge the country by other’s opinion. I hope everything works out for El Salvador and all the people there.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
As I right this comment
He is
Proud of him as an Salvadorean descendant
Dios lo bendiga Mr Bukele
Wow how amazing this is. Thank you for showing tge reality my country is going through. I came to the United States as a legal immigrant, because god honored me with that opportunity. But when I was there porverty was what I and my family used to suffer the most. Now that I'm here I want to see my people to grow and have the same opportunities we have here. Perhaps, it may not happen right now, but thanks to president @Nayibbukele because he has given hope to my country and already started doing like every president should do for it's nation.
Mecho503- dont worry your new president aint gonna do shit.
“Peace” is nothing but a fleeting hope for places like El Salvador, regardless of who comes to the table first. He seems like a genuine guy with the right idea in mind but I’ll wait and see if this can actually materialize into anything. Sadly for him, history (and the US) haven’t been too kind to Central American nations in the past.
I wish that central America and the US can turn a new leaf, in this case some of our special forces help train their guys to hunt down and capture or kill MS13 terrorists
If you look into his past achivements as mayor, you'll see what his intentions with the nation are. The man not only talks the talk but walks the walk.
@@resy6 what are his past achievements?
@@saul3965 here's a link to a news report (spanish) they did about "Nuevo Cuscatlan" and they mention a few things he did for the locals. Not only the locals dont want to migrate north (USA) but they believe theres better chances of living a decent, honest and dignified life.

You gotta know the CIA is itching to get him.
I exist because of the funded death squads of the 80's that overthrew El Salvador's government and who's remnants formed the current gang landscape. My father, a government official of that time, escaped; and the loss of his country, family, and friends had scarred him to his core. He created a family in Canada and decades later we are here, cheering for the revival of the great engine of the El Salvadorian people and praying for the new leaders that they overcome all in the face of so much pain and anguish.
The US will never let them, sadly.
im on the same boat as you bud. my mom and dad also fleed El Salvador when the war started escalating immensely. I live in the US but share a similar story. Neither of my parents will go back because they just arent willing to take the risk. While my mom went to college over there, her and her sister were caught in the middle of a horrendous slaughter that the government committed against its own people while they marched in protest. She and her sister had to hide in a nearby church while the chaos settled down and they said when the dust settled they came out to a horror scene of dead bodies everywhere. How anyone can be ok after that is beyond me and I know my mother suffered because of it. I really hope El Salvador gets the help it needs because I sure would like to visit there someday so I can see where my parents came from and experience my roots firsthand.
Same I only exist because of the war. Crazy to think about. Here i am in LA 22 years later. Born and raised.
Wonder if we're related from my mom's side because my family also played important roles in politics. Bukele is related from my dad's and mom's side as I'm Palestinian and Salvadoran.
aww, what part of Canada?
I'm not Salvadorian or a politically involved person, but I am in AWE of this dude. Respect!!

President: "I'm not gonna give the gangs power" Reporter: "Why not?" Top quality reporting
I know right? His 'journalism' really frustrated me like he didn't allow the President to talk in the beginning. And his questions were worded in a way to make the guy look like he doesn't have a plan for the country. Like give fair reporting man. Give the new guy a chance to explain thoroughly what he plans to do.
@@succathicdicc5601 don't explain simple things, its a waste of time.

The new development regards to the adoption of Bitcoin is 100% worth it. Just imagine we started this Bitcoin many years ago

It would be great if the US and El Salvador get through this together!!! More jobs!!! No more crime. No more murder .

Big hugs to yall brothers in El Salvador From the USA.
I really hope that he can turn his country around, he seems like a good guy. I have faith that he can do it. Good luck Mr. President, from the USofA 🇺🇸. If he can get rid of the gang problems, then he deserves the job.
I believe that Bukele will make a positive difference in El Salvador. Estoy muy orgullosa y bien optimista 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻
I was born in El Salvador 🇸🇻! Im a Salvadoran and American Citizen. Love my two cultures! 🇸🇻🇺🇸
Bukele is a well prepared man, he truly wants to improve El Salvador's conditions. Best of luck from México
I love that he’s trying to create jobs so that families don’t have to go through the trouble of reaching the border and crossing.
It’s honestly repulsive how these gang members think they’re some sort of Robin Hood while killing innocent people and ruining lives.
What makes it more disgusting is they aren't even doing it for themselves they are only taking orders from politicians and Rich families.... stupid pawns.
El salvador is a much safer place and in 2021 they will be investing the money in rebuilding its infrastructure
Comentarios de un sujeto que no tiene ni la más mínima idea de como en realidad está el país... O seguramente pasas solo viendo la Britanny o en el peor de los casos solo hablas porque vivís en EEUU.
El país está lejos de ser un país sano y seguro... Nayib no es ni nunca será un líder de verdad, ni una persona humilde y estadista de verdad.
Como podes decir que el país es más seguro que nunca cuando hay muchos desaparecidos a diario, el gobierno no lo puede ni quiere explicar y el plan control territorial es toda una falacia..
Cuando hables de la situación del país hacelo pero porque tenes propiedad de verdad, no sólo porque sos salvadoreño y crees que eso ya te da el derecho de hacerlo.

Si vis pacem, para bellum. That's a Roman saying. And it still holds true today.
He definitely did,this guy wasn't messing around
He's definitely doing it. Proud of my president and proud to be salvadorian.a good example of keeping his word and making the changes with action
just wondering, what has he done since this interview?
Never met a Salvadoran who didn’t love this guy! He’s such a great leader.
Only the corrupt leaders, friends and their families who flee to avoid prosecution hate him lol
He fckng did it, mad respect to you SIR....

President Buke let is right. A government should never ever negotiate with criminals. You have to show who's boss.
El Salvador is lucky to have that president. Good luck!
