This is Nayib Bukele. He became the youngest president in El Salvador’s history at 37 and achieved what many thought was impossible. In 4 years, he transformed one of the world’s most dangerous countries into one of the safest. Here’s how he did it:
When Bukele took office in 2019, El Salvador was plagued by violence:
•Over 60 homicides per 100,000 people.
•Gangs ruled entire neighborhoods.
•The economy was stagnant, and hope was fading.
The establishment said fixing it was impossible.
Bukele had a different plan:

“I don’t govern for the elites or the corrupt. I govern for the people.”
His first priority? Public safety.
He launched the Plan Control Territorial, an aggressive anti-gang strategy.
The media called it authoritarian. Critics said it would fail.
The results shocked everyone:
In less than four years:
•Homicides dropped by 92%.
•The murder rate fell to two per 100,000 people (unheard of in El Salvador).
•Extortion by gangs, a daily reality for many, was nearly eradicated.
Bukele turned El Salvador into a case study in rapid security reform.
He didn’t stop there.
Bukele wanted to transform El Salvador into a global player in tech and finance.
In 2021, he made Bitcoin legal tender, the first country to ever do so.
His goal? Attract foreign investment and provide banking access to the unbanked.
The move was risky. The IMF and World Bank criticized him. Economists predicted failure. But Bukele held firm, creating a Bitcoin City powered by geothermal energy.
El Salvador became a global leader in cryptocurrency adoption, inspiring innovation worldwide. El Salvador now owns close to 6,000 BTC, with Bitcoin trading at $97 500,07.
Critics called him a dictator when he consolidated power:
•Replacing Supreme Court judges.
•Extending his presidency.
•Tightening his grip on institutions.
Supporters saw it differently:
•Corruption was eradicated.
•Gang leaders and elites who ran the country unchecked were held accountable.
Bukele’s approval ratings tell the story:
•Over 90% of Salvadorans support him.
•His policies have made
El Salvador a tourist hotspot.
•Once called the “murder capital,” it’s now one of the safest places in the region.
His boldness has caught global attention.
Leaders from developing nations like Ecuador, Honduras and Costa Rica have studied his playbook.
Even US politicians admire him. The lessons are clear:
•Prioritize security.
•Be willing to take risks.
•Govern for the people, not the elites.
Bukele’s legacy is still unfolding. But one thing is certain: He’s shown that transformation is possible, even in a country many had written off.
The full story of his presidency is a masterclass in unconventional leadership.
