“It was a surprise that a president came to the United States (…) to request an audience when for the moment they have not even accepted the entire cabinet of President Biden … What did he come to then?” (Congresswoman Norma Torres)
A grotesque pantomine made Bukele in front of the Diplomatic Corps accredited in the country to deny what everyone already knows: that he went to Washington to meet with officials of the new Biden government but returned with the boxes out of temper, with “the stinks made but without anyone doing it. invited to the party “.
The information was published by the Associated Press (AP), The Washington Post, NBC, Infobae and other prestigious media on the Continent.
Bukele alleged that such a thing is false, that he did not go to Washington to meet with anyone. But it was immediately denied by people very close to the Biden government such as Congresswoman Norma Torres and Obama’s former adviser, Dan Restrepo, as well as by the director of the Human Rights Watch organization, José Miguel Vivanco, who summarized it as follows: “Here in Washington is widely known that Bukele was in town for two days and requested meetings with officials from the Biden administration. And he came back empty-handed. “
Congresswoman Torres was then in charge of asking the obligatory question: What did he go to then?
Bukele went to Washington but in fact no official from the Administration received him, given the emphasis that Biden has placed on fighting corruption in Central American countries. This is how Restrepo explains it: “I know it first hand. I know that there were attempts by President Bukele to have meetings with officers of the new President Biden and that they did not attend to him… it is well established here in Washington that he did seek these meetings and that he did not have a meeting.
The only one who apparently received it was the Secretary General of the OAS, who is said to have communicated the veto of the Salvadoran Celia Medrano’s candidacy for the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).
As is his custom, when Bukele was disarmed, he argued before the Diplomatic Corps that the media “lied”, a reckless and unfounded charge, since no newspaper or serious medium in the United States or the world is going to put his reputation at stake to “annoy ”To Bukele, to spread rumors, to accommodate a country’s opposition.
It was reported that, for the same reason, at the meeting Bukele unsuccessfully tried to get the US representative to support his lies.
The trip to Washington cost money that the population generates with sacrifices, just for the most excellent to be transported in first class, stay in luxury hotels, eat in first-class restaurants, buy very expensive souvenirs … what he does not pay out of pocket.
It has already been reported that the klepto-regime used funds from the El Salvador hospital to pay for articles that flatter it in specialized magazines. This kind of maneuvering, these tricks, is precisely what the Biden administration intends to eradicate in the region, since continuing to bleed peoples already bled represents a risk for the Hemisphere and the United States itself. Bad fruit rots good fruit in a basket …
Restrepo explains it like this: “The message (from the White House) is obvious: that those who respect democratic frameworks, the rule of law will be close partners with the United States, and those who leave those frameworks will have a more complex relationship.”
On February 28, everyone to vote for democracy and against theft and abuse
On February 28, those who abstained from voting in the last elections must go to the polls, bring friends and family with them, make the undecided see the serious damage that the permanent robbery and abuses of power of the klepto-regime are causing to the Nation.
We must not allow the unwary to be the architects of an institutional and economic disaster in our El Salvador.
