blue. ready ready ready with. ready ready ready ready welcome 12 salvatore, central america in 2019 02 entrenched political parties now by repeated corruption scandals. we recycle each other. once again. the population looks on a face live in poverty, the many under the control to repay she's street gangs that have captured entire neighborhoods. listen 30 is from a civil war which left the country ruins. the potential of young democracy already seems to be petering out. then a leather jacket wearing baseball cup, spoon 2 men, stepson's missing a social media savvy savior night. bu kelly claims to be an outsider. although he's already been met the capital san salvador. he takes the election by soon winning in a landslide because his party, new ideas and he has a lot of the nazi corruption commission infrastructure projects, the new security class, the more both the catches the eyes of the world. big boys. now president kelly, he goes, we're know what the country has got people making it, sell those national currency along with the dollar. people can buy and sell and send remittances home with the government's new and he says it's a sign of the country heading towards the 1st world. but there are dark ribbons beneath the surface, you know, salvador accusations of intolerance, corruption, financial instability. and did this an unprecedented crackdown against the gangs from to by spike violence beginning on the 27th of march. more than 17000 people have been detained and counting the south in parliament has approved the state of exception. that means the constitutional rights of those arrested, including the presumption of innocence, has been suspended for up to 5 south, many suffering, and the gun control the decades approved the measure. human rights groups feel the opposite. many say the innocent rules are being thrown into prison. their rights trembled. but this isn't the beginning of worries. what critics say, the president's socratic tendencies, we had it. will salvatore? in late january long before the crackdown, what stopped in opponents said that he was already pushing the limits of democracy . it was our chance to speak to those 2 against the president in a polarized country. mm. in the 1st 2 years of his ministration, kelly had already much so does in congress. his supporters had ousted opposition, link judges from the constitution, nuku, and the attorney general's office. the president had a firm grip on all of the organs of governance, his critic said, and didn't tolerate dissent. regularly attacking journalists, especially those from online outlet al photo. mm. in september 2020, it released a bombshell investigation that on the cuckoo kelly's claim, it was his iron fist strategy that had knocked down homicides. the government had actually done a secret deal with gang leaders. oh, photo alleged given the benefits in exchange for less murders and electoral support he'll follow said that the report was based on copies of hundreds of prison reports, confirming dozens of secret meetings between officials and gang leaders. the president deny veto. that in the same month announced the outlet was under investigation for money laundry. the next year, one of it said it says was denied a work visa and expel from the country. and then this january, citizen, lab of the university of toronto, said that equipment belonging to 22 members of via federal team have been infected by pegasus by way. pegasus software developed by an israeli psy brahms company, and sold only to governments hoodie, a governor. they was the 1st to discover. she been bucked when i was driving. and i remember that i got the 1st image in, but that moment we, we were confirmed that they got to was targeting most of the fire journalist. so these are the things the been spied on then. yeah, pearly. someone is listening to us right now we don't know. i mean that's very something very personal, isn't it? like all of your stuff is in, hey, you know, like my life life. i mean, everywhere i, everywhere i, i the places that i, i go or, or v c. it's because it has the that access to what can they pull out of this thing? what can they pull out of it during an attack? everything is just a moment that they do an infection. when they are into your phone, they can see they can see, for example, what the message that you are typing. or they can get access to your contacts, to your images, your videos. and it's like you're on luck to hobby not on the cell phone in your hands. i who do you think was behind the spying on your phone? what we see is like a very strong mixes us citizen, love, and access. now told us like we cannot just think about this in fixture without thinking about new book us government. busy or the interest that can have the government of mckelly. he's not put in journal leasing in jail, or he's now closing media outlets or whatever. but we can see that there is a systematic persecution against journalist. why do you think that there might be this special interest in spying on your newspaper? i fan because i work, for example, september 2020. that was one of the month with the highest level of self infections . there was a moment when father polish this article about the negotiation between the recal it and the gangs. then basically what you're saying is, whenever you touch things very sensitive, the government may be go across there in size. or a lot of times you've seen a peek in the amount of spying activity, dr. thing. and also as i told you that some specific day says fire polish like a huge article or investigation that you know that it's a bomb. one of the cell phone was infected, at least one and one sulphur with in fact, it was the government said, when you've asked them about this official position that they make, they deny that they have a contract. we also group and they say a lie also that we don't have enough money to buy the book that kind of filters. but the money came from somewhere and it wasn't just used to poke the federal journalist. other media outlets and civil rights figures also have mobile phones and other devices infected citizen. $35.00 in total. the number included lawyer who's the millionaire. the president of an engineer focused on transparency. the spying disturbed him, but something else has even more. at one of l, so those most famous murals, he explained to us. so this is a monument to the revolution, to the $948.00 revolution which put an end to a precedence term that want to stay longer in power to cling to power longer than what the term mandated at the time. and i think it's very significant in terms of a symbol of how has a long history of presidents and heads of state trying to cling to powers longer than what they were meant for. the constitution is very clear. there are 5 articles from the constitution, but expressly prohibited reelection presidential reelection. there's one that specifically says that president can not stay longer than one day after his storm is over. the very clear and, and yet the constitutional chamber interpreted the constitution. say that only for this time, only with this one time kelly can actually run for reelection in 2024 . so we'll see actual danger we've reelection because, you know, we look at other countries. a lot of countries have reelection. it's a chance for the government to, to finish a political project for that to be more stability. why is that such a worry to you? and here in el salvador, in a system that has very few functioning checks and balances, i think it very easy for a precedent that gets re elected to not only clean indefinitely to empower or to power, but also to have use this power. but even before the president who kelly declared his state of exception this much magneto claimed that the president was already abusing his power. the breaking point was february 9th 2020. that is when kelly storms, the legislature with the army and the police, trying to pressure to, to course the legislature to approve a loan. he was asking for his citizen security plan. so this is, this is something that hadn't happened in a long time in some learn history, right? he's, he's storms the, the legislature. he sits in the chair of the president of the national assembly and he starts the session, the national assembly. i think this was a turning point then, like this was also a, the moment when the international community recognized that there was a problem going on with the mockers, some of a few months after getting into power. the boy kelly administration started terminating a, an international court agreement. they had 4 and it's national anthem corruption, commissioners are capturing the, the access to information institute, which is the institution that guarantees citizens to access to public information. protecting officials, high level officials, ministers included, that they're all have been pointed by investigations of the american government as been involved in high level corruption cases. there's also mounting evidence, how do independent make millions of dollars well misused? why then this so many people still support? president tell him is ministration. i think a lot of salvatore and seeing this interview wouldn't be believing you. right? i be believe in the government. why is that? he he he took food. he handed out cash. $300.00 bonus for 4 people who were struggling during the pandemic. and a lot of these people had never received anything from the government, not even running water or education or security that had never seen a police officer in their community. and what people are, are saying in different polls is that as long as the government is solving their, their problems are it's facing the challenges that they face. they to day. it's okay if it's not democratic. oh, we went to son, we 3 working class community in san salvador, tossed them about that, and the president of this is the other side of el salvador, those who support kelly and the are by far the majority near the entrance to the community. convers, putting out to tea, is waiting for us. as we chat his sons plowed a couple of the laptops that the government gave to many poor youngsters, so that they could study in the pandemic. e k for laurie actually on the instead condo, jo lopez completed orders. i a lady, a lady up and one night whatever fam, to put on the rest of the in can, will come in this band says cookie of the case, someone bundled dispenses, come, will, comedic more courses. i see i had to come in alaska highly men. thank you. i see your mother. i think the law one can be the thing that's a heavy off is that do you plan on being on the family body a business the maninder get along. you well now that the border and for the and i you know, it better to for like i leave for a minute. no, but i am old, but i mean, i look in the high little are playing in a free for leave. and i thought that was something that if i get them and thought that seen hydro left something black, i hate that kid p. and so that impulse is though president, they submitted footstool after 9 months, i would say it up, but i left a phone call or i thought i might get to them. i thought i would have missed your name. solo. see it. fine. yeah. but i mean, most of them on the line for long. yeah. either le phone either local or regional meet. i'm actually looking know him all the way for yeah, i don't know if you really remember this was before president kelly state exception, a mass detentions of alleged gang members, but almost 80 percent of salvadorans have approved of that to oh says the last him is grand is an el salvador as he less he will do that no instances for once he will of course, is in, in law in like wounded other key core reference ya. i lassie booted up by force definitions. you and they had like all on there and i like along yeah, area, but i guess the media, the hint de la bay allen paul border is there any book includes as an unhealthy, someone from the emperor blackwell, emma believable, i thought of gay at emily delane or gay obvious that happened in the yesterday, that van that looked like was a full me your e order. now the is all for leader with the k b a northwest. oklahoma. trego quin. most difference is group bulls to blend is bundy, is, is a school chill there. so when was for the waste in this jesse on the computer that that means more our friend b i s o gas if they're not bang, get for a moment. come on back here they come on on. they look guess of where i'm in there is bella bimmer bonner by the fatal gary. i meant bed. i will belly no lawyer. but look, look at him. he's no kid. l c. no hand thinking clever. how a consumer go vietnam has many so no. okay, put another i let me go, sketch you on. it said no, craig, take a query. i'm not, not. no, no. carla, like many salvadorans believes that critical reports and the president and his allies are lies. he stopped by them and they planned to stick by him even and perhaps because of the master ris, despite repeat, citing evidence that authorities have not just rounded up gang members, but also people who simply live or work in neighborhoods dominate to by crime. as part of the track down the police politicians, the majority in congress also reduce the age of criminal re ability to 12. 0, well probably try to report that out. but on the new misaki, i look at him in alice, but he and then promoters getting a bizarre study and go to the electron tundra alyssa are on there. so, you know, that won't be a political me like honestly who to put a deal is going to call me will not growth. you almost other ones look info with them. let me important look any honestly, any more, you know, if you're not given up at the head on this that a hand getting the artificial on the arrows. she's done to look at an philanthropic golf o'kelly's. eye lice also introduce prison sentences of 10 to 15 years. for journalist or anyone who brought cost content about the gangs that could cause according to the government, anxiety or panic among the people. president kelly himself, smith, journalist on twitter, cooling of photos editor, a piece of rubbish. but the president's critics to not just come from the pressure in human rights fees, lane, or silva, an economist to be executive director vill, salvador national association of private businesses told us how she believes a man who's described in self again on twitter is salvador ceo is affecting the business community. well, don't really know what motivates the fish and being taken and government institution because there are no long term plans. there are no, you know, there's not an economic plan on a fiscal plan put in place at the same time. the sessions now don't have to be justified. often you don't get motivations when you get a resolution or an administrative position. i don't really know was taking on positions there's, there's this kind of parallel structure with power where, you know, some congressman really don't have decision making power in making law which is kind of absurd. and then ministers don't have the decision making power within their ministry. and there's parallel advisors that have more power and then there's the relatives of the president who don't have the government positions will have more power from your subject until level up. and certainly that really months operating in the country and living in the country kind of unlovable and no uncertainty. that's where we all want. and that's the same thing with investors and investor who's, you know, kinda picking which country in central america for incense invest in placing his gonna place his bat and his investment on whatever it gives him more certainty. big. meanwhile, the country's debt payments looming last year, the president came up with another idea to meet the funding gap. he announced it at a far what few party volcano dogs. it works like this and the government will sell a $1000000000.00 worth of its debt to investors. half of the money that brings it will be used to buy up big coins when and if their value goes up, it will help slash the debt. that alone is gone to the other half. that 1000000000 will be used for the president's other big idea. bitcoin city a completely new metropolis shaped like the symbol of the crypto currency itself, in the southeast of the country, an economic free zone with all the trimmings. what is the procedure to go to include? well, it's going to be right there in the for the 2nd goal. and he's got to include everything that will have serial income tax 0 percent forever. this is a fully, fully ecological city. that's work that works. and it's energized by a bulky a yes. from with geothermal electricity from the nearby volcano, which will also be used to my more bit coins. it's a crypto currency at best is fun to see if it's ever built. what, why is that? why that out about why a lot of other things because there is no study at this point, but how i will tell which is about them. okay. know that the government has claim will be the one they'll be using for mining. actually it allows for that kind of deal tara exploitation and i don't think those are investments are done quickly. that the lining part, you already have that computer that has to do more with a software, but deal thermo exploitation. it's a whole different thing. and then the other considerations, i think while we're seeing around the world, there are other positions where all salvador has no wait on and has no incidence, and or relevance or in fact in the global market. and those decisions are affecting bitcoin and cryptic currency. so, you know, there is, there's the u. s. and china coming out with a digital coin. there are a lot of baker players taking the bigger decisions around crypto currencies and how the future of crypto currency actually looks like layer those association of president bush, kelly loggerheads. he says it wants to sabotage. he's government's work, but even bitcoin it to use. yes, i talked to seemed skeptical the plant city and the rolled out of the so called volcano bones was delayed this much. i wanted to put all of those questions to the president himself in a trip this january, not just finance the democracy, transparency. there was plenty to talk about, but it wasn't to be of course, as an absence in this program is the president. but that's not through one to try. i reached out to multiple members of his combs state to ask for an interview with him or any other member of his administration, but was told that nobody could do it. both who stated is not a part of president kelly's government. it doesn't speak for it. he's a strong i like and has a state post is head of the national commission, small micro businesses. you also spoke to us during january trip. there's been a lot of talk about bitcoin city that it's not realistic. when he unveiled at some of the slides that he shown would take him from another presentation. and this, that hasn't been a lot of actual to put into how this will work with your response. it's easy to say because the city doesn't make sense, why even do that, but it's a trade zone. and the whole idea is to create trade. i think what the president is doing is creating the opportunity and some people say, well, you don't have enough volcanoes, active volcanoes to do it. we've been running our geothermal energy off of extinct work in it for years. you don't need and again, to be active in order to benefit from the, from the magma the clothes beneath the soil. so i think what we need to do is, is maybe not react negatively to news like this. especially when it's breaking a paradigm because nobody else is doing it. and so we have the 1st country with legal tender forbid going the 1st country creating a between city the 1st country who's now going to start using bitcoin as a means of funding itself. what's wrong with that? the only thing is the in central america, there's been quite a lot of plan cities that have been announced that haven't happened in the end. no . and so you think there be some sort of plans, at least to check a is, is feasible. and i mean this is a blueprint for doing it, but that's what's being done right now. but we don't have it yet. the announcements made without that feasible answer was made because the conceptual feasibility was done. and the president got to a point where he said, yes, it's capable of being approved as part of my vision. now what we do is get the laws in place, get the plans in place, and start getting the investors in line so that we can make it happen. so a plan in progress. one of many to this government will those plans now will the country default on its debt with the gang to be driven out. widow salvador sinking to complete a passive take. an authoritarian isn't in a country so polarized. it's hard to get objective answers. but one thing is for certain president and kelly
