EL SALVADOR: Bukele moves on new priority
El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has warned that the tactics his authoritarian government has applied to tackling gangs (which since March 2022 have been targeted in a major crackdown), may soon be extended to wholesalers, importers, and distributors, who he blames for high prices. His threat comes amid other efforts to address the soaring price of basic foodstuffs, which have risen in part due to floods, and is in line with his declared pledge upon taking office for a second term on 1 June to address the new number one public concern – the economy and high living costs.
