| Bukele har "intagit" Nationalförsamlingen med krigsförberedda specialstyrkor ur armén och ber till Gud om att "Han" ska tvinga parlamentsledamöterna att ge vika. Inte ens under militärdiktaturen och kriget under 1980-talet inträffade något liknande. Respekt? Inför vem, förutom Donald Trump? |
”Åsne- och Twitterpresidenten” Bukele
som ”El Salvadors Fujimori”
I ett år har han nu
suttit, Nayib Bukele. Vald på ett högerpartis valsedel utan ens enkel majoritet
i Nationalförsamlingen har han baserat sin makt ömsom med hot och med de
väpnade styrkorna i ryggen som till och med, i full stridsmundering,
marscherade i Nationalförsamlingen där denne politiska pajas hotade de valda
parlamentsledamöterna.
Stilen påminner om
fascisten Jair Bolsonaros. Och det är samma populism för appellerar till folket
som manipuleras via hans Twitter som upptar större delen av ”Åsnepresidentens”,
som han döpts till.
Och precis som
Bolsonaro, Lenin Moren eller Mauricio Macri har ”El Presidente Burro” använt
sig av CIA-manualen ”Lawfare”, det vill säga juridiska skådeprocesser som
riktas mot eventuella potentiella fiender ”som måste oskadliggöras”. Förr hade
CIA och dess lokala avläggare, som i El Salvador var dödsskvadronerna som hade
ihjäl den ”farlige” och av folket älskade ärkebiskopen Arnulfo Romero. I dag
använder sig Trumps lokala allierade sig av den juridiska apparaten. Och när
Bukele misstänker att någon av ledamöterna i den rättsliga instansen inte går
på hans ”neutraliserande” av domstolsledamoten hängs denne ut ”inför folket”.
Vad vi förmodligen
snart kommer få se är ett ”neutraliserande” av Nationalförsamlingen och kanske
också författningsdomstolen som inte går i takt med den twittrande presidenten.
Alberto Fujimori,
vald till president i Peru i början av 1990-talet stängde kongressen och
upplöste hela rättsapparaten i ett dekret 1992 och regerade därefter under
flera år med de egna presidentdekreten. Samtidigt aktiverade han dödsskvadroner
som jagade ”den inre Fienden”.
Tendenserna hos
Bukele är farligt lika Fujimoris agerande.

Burrokele: My kingdom for a

"If I
denounce and condemn injustice it is because it is my obligation as pastor of
an oppressed and humiliated people"
Monsignor Óscar Arnulfo Romero
Monsignor Óscar Arnulfo Romero
Nayib Bukele does
not hesitate to expose his thinking with the same speed as his thumbs allow it
... social networks are the space where the President of El Salvador disposes,
criticizes, denounces, humiliates and persecutes.
Twitter, par
excellence, becomes its most synthetic and drastic space to let your country
and the world know your decisions or appreciations.
He does not
seem to understand that all his acts are political ... he acts simulating
spontaneity, freshness, modernity; but none of this is left to the universe
... and if it were so, at times, it is noticeable that it is not interested.
Chance, confrontation and frivolity
were and are his trademark. This reached him to reach the highest
institutional hierarchy in his country.
And he
already found the seductive charm of arrogance to his role of power.
He boasts of speaking to Trump as if
(per se) he placed his country in the first world.
He has not
hesitated to devise an attack against the Legislative Assembly agitating the
violence of the security forces with total self-confidence, nor has he been
undeterred by violating the National Constitution in times of pandemic.
It goes
through some remarkable phrases with an apparent democratic meaning with
dictatorial procedures typical of other times.
He does not
hesitate to consider himself the savior of his people and in three days post
that they are condemned to death ... referring that he also does not know if
they do not deserve it ...
You can go
from the most dramatic tweet to think of yourself as the victim of an alien
conspiracy to abduct him (I don't think Salvadorans are that lucky).
He has not
hesitated to criminalize social protest as pretending to govern without
opposition of any kind.
And in that format of genuflection
towards the USA He could not stop acquiring, within the special
combo "In God we trust" , the lawfare franchise ...
And it is in Siegfried Reyes, former
President of the Legislative Assembly today asylee by the Mexican government,
where the hostility and legal / political persecution of the millennial
president fell.
Siegfried
approached the writer of this review in Cancun, Mexico. More precisely at
the end of my conference on the judicialization of politics in the region and
within the framework of the World Summit for Political Communication.
We
immediately generate that empathy that occurs among those of us who believe in
the Great Homeland and we can afford to think against certain hegemonic
discourses with Anglo-Saxon whiff.
Reyes began
to send me the pertinent documentation about his case and I decided to
collaborate with his team of legal advisers.
The current
Salvadoran government in clear collusion with a sector of criminal, civil and
administrative justice as well as certain media, began the persecution
following the hackneyed manual of the legal war.
The main
objective: the institutional weakening that allows Bukele the sum of public
power to self-crown himself ...
To do this,
it was necessary to subject Reyes to countless pressures sustained over time by
unscrupulous prosecutors and a majority of courtiers who collaborated to
deliver the final thrust to generate his capture request. The asylum
granted by the Mexican state prevented the confinement from becoming a reality,
while not content with their attempt at Siegfried, they extended the
persecutory behavior towards their family and their assets under the pretext of
forced arguments of criminal law and criminal procedure.
Accountabilities
once accepted and verified by circumspect audits and detailed crossings of economic
and financial information for years came to be suspected by the country's
highest judicial authority in clear contradiction. Criminal investigations
filed for their inconsistencies, reopened and again immobilized due to the
absence of proof of charge. Of course, now there were orders to follow,
the result of surreptitious pacts, initialed in dark catacombs of nefarious
power, perched on a President who has not hesitated to make visible his
pressures and threats in pursuit of his strategy.
From his official
account of the bird network, in July 2019, he did not hesitate to condition the
Court before the imminence that the plenary votes could not send Reyes to
trial, enraged, he spoke of vote 8 that would achieve "impunity" of
the highest authority of the Assembly. As an icing on the cake, and for
the avoidance of doubt, he coercively sentenced "The Salvadoran people
will know which magistrates of the Supreme Court of Justice are in favor of
impunity and who is not ...".
How did
Bukele know the status of a vote, until then, secret?
How dare he
advance so blatantly on one of the powers of the state?
The result
was more than evident in the face of such a threat, obtaining the necessary
votes to activate the civil and criminal machine against Reyes and his
environment.
There would
begin, or continue, the advance that at this point extended to other former
officials, although it had not reached such "eloquence" as the one
previously reported.
Obviously,
the Salvadoran judicial system is much more than the servile partners that have
decided so far and we vow, the professionals of the legal profession, that the
bodies of review that are coming nullify what has been done, putting the truth
as the highest good of the process; exalting the rights and guarantees of
due process not already national but of international roots.
However, we are attentive to the
continuity of the pressures ... there is much at stake for Bukele and his
political leaders ...
