El Salvador President Nayib Bukele was elected to a second term in February of this year and was sworn in just a few days ago on June 1.
Matt and Mercedes Schlapp along with a CPAC delegation that included Elaine Beck, Veronica Birkenstock, former ambassador Ron Johnson, and more attended the inauguration festivities.
“El Salvador has a great President in President Bukele. It is our honor to be here representing America, and America is going to be helping the people of El Salvador very soon,” said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp.
Bukele has led El Salvador to an era of peace after years of civil war in the 1980s and 1990s and rule by violent gangs in more recent years. In his speech at CPAC in DC 2024, he boasted of the policies in his first term that crushed the gangs that were turning El Salvador into the murder capital of the world. He also boasted of the people of El Salvador’s rejection of globalism and communism and the steps he has taken to secure his country against those dangerous ideologies. For his second term, he is now promising to turn the economy of El Salvador around and not only bring peace but prosperity to the country.
Bukele’s landslide victory into a second term is a sign that, contrary to the mainstream media narrative, conservatism is gaining traction worldwide and the countries that are embracing conservatism are changing for the better. With a victory for President Trump in November, together the United States and countries like El Salvador can make prosperity worldwide.
“All we need is a little bit of leadership, that’s what we need in America. Four more years of Trump, five more years of Bukele, and a few others and we can change the world,” said Matt Schlapp.
