It took damn long for someone to figure out that less developed and more dangerous countries need more strict policing

The transformation has been pretty incredible.  I think many in the west or EU look at some of his tactics as strongman or “dictator”, which there are some arguments for, and would not work in most countries… but citizens seem to love him (85% approval) and he was just  elected to second term.  Most media seems to dislike him. 
 

im interested to see how he shapes policy now that they have the violence under control. Time will tell.

It's only that El Salvador is such a small country with very little influence but otherwise, Bukele is one of the most competent and serious statesman and leader of the 21st century. This is how you lift a country up and give your nation pride and confidence in a better future. A truly inspirational person, he is of Palestinian descent btw, if only Palestinians had a leader like him.
