Overview

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, the self proclaimed "World's Coolest Dictator," has carved out an outsized international profile for himself. His brash use of social media, implementation of Bitcoin, and suspension of constitutional rights to fight crime have made him a lightening rod for criticism. But, with his 91% approval rating, Bukele has found admirers across the region, who seek to replicate his style and strategy. 

What does Bukele's popularity mean for the future of Latin America? In an in-person Young Professionals of the Americas Cafecito, Nelson Rauda, a journalist for the Salvadoran outlet El Faro, will explain Bukele's rise and how the leader exercises power, in a conversation with YPA's Chase Harrison
