Flávio Bolsonaro seeks to adopt El Salvador's security model in Brazil
Flávio Bolsonaro, a right-wing presidential candidate in Brazil, has expressed his intention to adopt the security model implemented by El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele. Following a meeting in São Paulo with El Salvador's Security Minister, Gustavo Villatoro, Bolsonaro stated that he is “inspired” by Bukele's methods to combat crime.
Bolsonaro aims to implement a strict and effective plan in Brazil to protect citizens and victims, criticizing the current administration for its approach to criminal activity. He noted that Bukele has successfully restored national sovereignty and public safety, citing the significant reduction in homicide rates in El Salvador as evidence of the model's success.
However, the Bukele administration faces intense criticism from human rights organizations. Since declaring a state of emergency in 2022, El Salvador has seen nearly 100,000 individuals arrested and imprisoned, often without warrants, on suspicion of gang involvement.
