El Salvador ex. Balancing National Security and Civil Liberties
The case of Naib Bukele in El Salvador highlights the delicate balance between national security measures and civil liberties. By rapidly incarcerating a large portion of the population without due process, Bukele managed to reduce crime rates significantly. However, this approach raises concerns about human rights violations and lack of legal procedures. While some argue for more gradual and lawful methods like strengthening police forces and upholding judicial processes, Bukele's popularity with an approval rating over 80% reveals the societal acceptance of his actions. The historical pattern of sacrificing civil liberties during crises, seen in various democratic societies, adds complexity to the debate. Ultimately, the case of Bukele prompts reflections on the trade-off between security and individual rights, raising questions about the acceptability and replicability of such measures in other countries.
