President Bukele appears to have been fortunate, as three potential threats—linking him and his inner circle to drug trafficking and other questionable activities—disappeared in a single incident.

The recent cancellation announcement of the extradition agreement seems to be due to the government's knowledge that the U.S. ambassador was acting so that the American justice system would open files against officials close to the president.

Inexorably, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele is calmly heading towards his unconstitutional reelection as he controls the state apparatus, including the legislative and judicial branches.

Bukele is one of those people who awaken passions. Either you love him or you hate him. To date, he is the most popular president in the country's democratic history. Neither his many mistakes as president nor his notorious authoritarian vocation have made a dent in his popularity.
