The Executive meet
In April 2024, President Bukele set up an unexpected meeting to announce an investigation against all of the executive branch members. He said, “You can see that everyone here is from the executive branch. From the executive branch that I oversee, except for one person- the Attorney General. He’s not part of the executive branch, but he’s here for a simple reason. I want to ask him publicly to investigate everyone sitting here. Retroactively and into the future. I imagine that there should be no problem with that,”
Bukele has been in power since 2019, this president is afraid of having a bad legacy and in his terms, he has implemented some surprising changes such as a lethal counterstrike against gangs and mafia in El Salvador. The president refrains from corrupt acts as he refuses to be remembered as a corrupt leader.
Bukele expressed that President [Rodrigo] Duarte was not a thief, but he surrounded himself with thieves, which stained his legacy despite not stealing himself. Hence president Bukele emphasized that they wanted to be remembered as a president who neither stole nor allowed others to steal.
For this purpose, Bukele announced his plans to create the Center for Confinement of Corruption, a facility intended for individuals convicted of corruption-related crimes.
