First, I never said than a dictator never came to power through fair and healthy election. Just that it is rare, much rarer than a lot people think.

Second, I would say that the jury is still in debat for Bukele. Yes, it’s re-election is anti-constituai but he seems to still have the support of the population, as the election seemed to be fair and healthy.

But I agree that his legal shenningans to allow for his re-election don’t bode well for the future. Let’s wait and see.
