Thank you. I was looking for a salvadorian to explain the situation. How is your president perceived by the general population ? He seems to have an interesting personality
The government's most popular measures so far are the vaccine roll out plan (best in Central America), the food packages distributed during the pandemic and gifting a laptop to every high school student. Stimulus checks came some months but were available for many businesses and employees.
Part of his popularity comes from a well planned media strategy that includes multiple traditional and social media channels.
Radio, tv, government owned media, government controlled media, twitter, tiktok, facebook, instagram, official government social media, new state owned newspaper, new state owned news program, social media influencers, youtubers, memes. [4] I would say that 2/3 of every trending topic I see is government related. [3]
Criticism comes from many organizations which are concerned about authoritarian tendencies.
