How to Strop A Drug Cartel
Manage episode 434141034 series 2461379
El Salvador used to be the murder capital of the world. Now it’s arguably as safe as Canada. In 2019 Nayib Bukele became president, and initiated a draconian crackdown on drug cartels, suspending the Constitution and civil liberties. It knocked gangs out of neighborhoods, but flirted with tyranny to do so. Was the trade worth it? Peter Gietl of Frontier Magazine joins to discuss.
