Sep 24, 2024, 10:28 PM
El Salvador has achieved a significant milestone in public safety under President Nayib Bukele's leadership. According to a recent Gallup poll, El Salvador is now ranked among the safest countries in the world, surpassing nations like Switzerland, Iceland, and Luxembourg. The country has seen a dramatic reduction in its homicide rate, approaching zero per 100,000 people. Additionally, 88% of Salvadorans now feel safe walking alone at night in the city. This transformation marks a stark contrast from its past reputation as the murder capital of the world. El Salvador is now the safest country in the Western Hemisphere. Bukele emphasized that El Salvador prioritizes the safety of its honest citizens over the comfort of criminals, stating, 'Some say we have imprisoned thousands, but in reality, we have liberated millions.'
