El Salvador President Nayib Bukele takes his reelection campaign beyond the borders

El Salvador's Nayib Bukele took his presidential reelection campaign beyond the tiny Central American country's borders Wednesday night to capitalize on his rising profile across Latin America. During a two-hour forum on the platform X, Bukele accused critics of his controversial policies — including the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and international institutions like it — of trying to keep El Salvador and other developing nations down. Bukele was granted a six-month leave from the presidency starting in December to run for reelection — despite a constitutional ban on reelection.
