• 現在納伊布·布克萊已正式再次當選為薩爾瓦多總統，但在貫徹他第一任期開始的政策綱領方面還有許多問題需要解決。

納伊布·布克萊通過有效解決薩爾瓦多的幫派暴力問題鞏固了自己的政治遺產，不僅獲得了非凡的第二次總統任期，而且還推動他的新思想黨在立法領域取得了徹底的勝利。

布克爾在總統競選中取得了歷史性的勝利，獲得了令人印象深刻的 83% 的選票，這一差距被廣泛認為是前所未有的，在現代民主國家公開和自由選舉的背景下，他的得票率高達 76%。

在競選期間，布克萊在獲得了以候選人身份參選的特別許可后，不得不暫時辭去總統職務。

各國際組織觀察到的這次選舉被普遍認為是自由、公平和公開的，沒有發現重大違規行為。

包括美國在內的世界各國政府都認可了這一結果，并祝賀布克萊取得了壓倒性的勝利。

負責監督選舉的薩爾瓦多最高選舉法庭確認，由于超過 70% 的選票已經清點，布克萊的勝利已成定局，這使得他最接近的對手的任何競爭結果都難以逾越。

這次選舉的成功超出了總統范圍，布克萊的新思想黨也獲得了立法議會 60 個席位中的至少 54 個席位，進一步鞏固了他的政治影響力。

當布克萊開啟新篇章時，他面臨著引導薩爾瓦多走向經濟繁榮的艱巨挑戰，這項任務與政府內部采用比特幣的重要議程密切相關。

然而，至關重要的是要認識到，在取得如此巨大的選舉勝利后，他在處理領導層的復雜性時將遇到復雜的困難。

憑借人民的明確授權和在立法領域的主導地位，布克萊準備實施雄心勃勃的政策和改革，但伴隨這一授權的期望和挑戰同樣嚴峻。

經濟停滯和優先事項

盡管取得了巨大的選舉勝利，當選總統納伊布·布克萊仍被選民賦予了讓薩爾瓦多擺脫相對經濟停滯的任務。

雖然采用比特幣可能會在解決方案中發揮作用，但目前這不太可能成為他的首要任務。

當前的重點是解決經濟挑戰并為薩爾瓦多人提供向上流動性，創造一個阻止犯罪的環境作為可行的選擇。

It was impossible to tackle economic problems while the looming threat of gang violence and insecurity persisted.

Bukele recognized that sustainable economic progress required addressing the root causes of crime and insecurity, laying the foundation for broader prosperity.

However, it is crucial to acknowledge that El Salvador has already progressed. Notably, the country’s favorable digital laws have attracted significant players like Google, signaling a positive environment for digital operations.

Companies like Strike, Bitfinex, and Volcano Energy operate within El Salvador’s bitcoin-friendly landscape, contributing to the country’s economic diversification.

Beyond the business landscape, visible improvements are evident in various public works initiatives.

Projects like the subterranean electrical cable initiatives, new roads, bypasses, and the construction of a new national library, showcase the government’s commitment to infrastructural development.

The surge in tourism, with El Salvador ranking as the 5th best-performing tourist destination globally in 2023, reflects the positive momentum.

However, the challenge lies in ensuring that this prosperity extends to and significantly improves the quality of life for most Salvadorans.

While progress is evident, the emphasis must now shift towards ensuring that most Salvadorans have the opportunity to uplift their communities and address socio-economic disparities, ensuring that the benefits of El Salvador’s economic transformation reach every corner of the nation.

Security Concerns And Lasting Solutions

Bukele’s second term will be marked by the need to consolidate and make permanent the strides achieved in addressing security concerns during his first term.

His resounding electoral victory can be seen as a public endorsement, a referendum on the effectiveness of his government’s efforts in tackling the pervasive issue of insecurity.

The challenge now lies in sustaining these improvements and delving deeper into the root causes of criminality.

Central to Bukele’s approach is not just punitive measures but a comprehensive strategy that includes rehabilitation and addressing the socio-economic factors contributing to crime.

His “Zero Idleness” program within the incarceration system is a notable initiative.

This program focuses on rehabilitating inmates who have demonstrated trustworthiness and good behavior, preparing them for reintegration into society.

However, sustaining this progress requires ongoing support systems and opportunities to ensure these individuals can maintain law-abiding behavior post-incarceration.

While Bukele has acknowledged the link between poverty and crime, the challenge is problematic.

His winning speech and previous press conferences highlighted the importance of addressing poverty and recognizing its role in incentivizing criminal activities.

However, translating this acknowledgment into tangible changes within a five-year term requires strategic planning and implementation.

One aspect to consider is providing alternatives to the high-time preference for easy money through crime.

Bukele’s government may need to focus on creating opportunities for economic growth, job creation, and skill development, particularly in areas heavily affected by poverty and crime.

By offering viable alternatives, the government can shift the incentive structure, making it more attractive for individuals to pursue legitimate means of earning a livelihood.

Demonstrating Gains From Bitcoin Adoption

While the successes in addressing security concerns and investing in infrastructure have undoubtedly benefited El Salvador, the challenge now extends to showcasing the tangible gains from Bitcoin adoption.

Despite the positive impact on security and public works, El Salvador currently grapples with the lowest-performing GDP in the Central American region.

Bukele has candidly acknowledged the economic constraints faced by the country in his winning speech, emphasizing the limited natural resources, dependence on food imports, and vulnerabilities exposed during last year’s transportation blockade from unions and indigenous groups in Guatemala and Panama respectively.

In the face of these challenges, demonstrating macroeconomic gains becomes intricate, requiring a nuanced approach to gauge the success of Bitcoin adoption.

El Salvador, a small country with limited resources, must strategically leverage its strengths to create economic opportunities.

Bukele’s recognition of the significance of the tech and Bitcoin industry as a cornerstone of the nation’s economic growth aligns with this strategy.

While GDP is not the sole metric for economic success, it remains a key indicator, and addressing its shortcomings is imperative.

To alleviate concerns, Bukele’s government must focus on attracting and facilitating strategic partnerships with global corporations, as seen with Nestle and Unilever.

After decades of hiatus, Nestle’s renewed commitment to purchasing specialty coffee from El Salvador and Unilever’s expanded operations exemplify the potential for such collaborations to stabilize and boost key industries.

The ambitious Bitcoin City project is a pivotal aspect of El Salvador’s economic transformation. Bitcoiners, who are closely monitoring the country’s efforts, anticipate the development of Bitcoin City and how Bukele navigates potential controversies.

Here, challenges may emerge, especially concerning libertarian and Bitcoin maximalist expectations, as the government may need to exert its authority in acquiring land and ensuring private property rights are aligned with the project’s objectives.

As El Salvador positions itself as a hub for the tech and Bitcoin industry, the government’s commitment to balancing progress with respect for individual rights becomes paramount.

Success in this venture hinges on attracting foreign investments, fostering a conducive business environment, and managing the expectations of stakeholders and Bitcoiners.

El Salvador’s economic fate is undeniably tied to the success of innovative initiatives, and Bukele’s government must tread carefully to ensure the project’s success benefits Salvadorans while navigating the complexities of both domestic and international economic landscapes.

Foreign Investment And Property Ownership

Another tricky area to navigate as part of Bukele’s economic strategy will be balancing the delicate balance between attracting foreign investment and empowering local Salvadorans.

Bukele will need to recognize the importance of ensuring that Salvadorans have access to opportunities for property ownership, especially as Bitcoin immigrants seek to make El Salvador their new or second home.

Depending on how Bukele addresses this reality, the solutions to ensuring Salvadoran property rights may not entirely align with the principles of the particular perceived Bitcoin ethos.

Striking this balance becomes even more complex when considering potential concerns for libertarians and proponents of small government, who will resent government intervention in setting property market rules and regulations.

To truly leverage foreign investment for the benefit of the local population, Bukele’s government acknowledges the need to invest in training programs that equip Salvadorans to capitalize on the potential of new companies in the country.

Accelerated education frameworks, particularly in English, become crucial, as proficiency in this language significantly enhances employment and income prospects.

Recognizing this, the government must move to implement initiatives that foster English language skills among the local workforce.

However, it’s essential to tread carefully in this endeavor.

While the advantages of English proficiency are clear, El Salvador’s official language is Spanish.

Bitcoiners and expats eyeing the country for residency and business opportunities must respect and adapt to El Salvador’s linguistic sovereignty.

Moreover, Spanish is already an asset to individuals, as Latin America, with its growing popularity in the Bitcoin landscape and Argentina’s Bitcoin-friendly approach, presents a significant growth opportunity.

The integration of expats into Salvadoran society adds an interesting social dimension to the economic strategy.

Unlike the experience in Costa Rica, where expats often create separate communities, Bukele must aim to foster a more integrated approach.

To address potential challenges, such as local population resentment or gentrification, Bukele may opt for solutions that differ from the expectations of Bitcoin libertarians.

One potential strategy involves the development of social and affordable housing initiatives.

By providing dignified homes for local Salvadorans adjacent to Bitcoin expat communities, Bukele must mitigate the impact of rising property prices and access to property for locals.

This approach may differ from the expat enclaves seen elsewhere, as the focus remains on shared communities that benefit locals and newcomers.

Ending The State Of Exception

The decision to end the state of exception, temporarily suspending certain freedoms, must hinge on permanently addressing security issues.

Salvadorans approve of this measure because this tool has prevented a catch-and-release approach with violent criminals and allows the authorities to properly process them.

The challenge for Bukele lies in balancing the imperative of national security with the preservation of individual freedoms, which demands careful navigation to avoid compromising the hard-won progress in security.

Addressing the backlog of cases within the judiciary is imperative before the State of Exception can end. The timely investigation, proper charging, fair trials, and appropriate sentencing of perpetrators are essential in any independent justice system.

This back-log and the catch-and-release policies were a legacy of the previous administration, which had made the problem of gangs worse, not better for the country.

While it is important to ensure that those who are innocent are swiftly acquitted and set free, underscoring the principles of justice and due process, this principle was abused and used as a tool for criminality and the harming of innocent victims rather than ensuring the rights of the wrongly arrested.

Bukele has emphasized the inherent fallibility of any system, including El Salvador’s.

His leadership in implementing bold measures to combat crime, albeit controversial, has yielded tangible results, transforming the nation from the “murder capital of the world” to one of the safest countries in the Western Hemisphere.

Despite criticism from various quarters, including mainstream media, NGOs, and foreign governments, Bukele remains steadfast in his commitment to safeguarding the safety and security of Salvadorans.

In this context, the importance of maintaining the gains achieved cannot be overstated.

Bukele’s government must resist external pressures and adhere to its strategic course, recognizing that freedom and property rights are meaningless without the assurance of safety within the nation’s borders.

El Salvador’s journey towards sustained security and prosperity requires resolute leadership and a steadfast commitment to preserving the hard-won gains of recent years.

Managing Expectations

In the pursuit of economic revitalization and Bitcoin adoption, Bukele may not be able to satisfy every ideal on the Bitcoiner’s wishlist.

It is essential to recognize that El Salvador’s government is focused on rescuing the nation from Centuries of dysfunction rather than adhering strictly to a set of preferred laws and policies.

憑借在行政和立法部門中如此強大的授權和必要的霸權，布克萊、他的政府和他的立法議會代表團隊還需要抵制腐敗、缺乏透明度和自滿的誘惑。

如果沒有有效的反對，自我批評和謙虛對于維持良好治理和確保持續進步至關重要。

在薩爾瓦多踏上這一歷史性征程時，布克萊總統面臨著多方面的挑戰。

雖然比特幣的采用是一個關鍵組成部分，但解決經濟問題和安全問題以及在當地賦權和外國投資之間取得平衡也至關重要。

布克萊的成功不僅取決于比特幣支持者期望的實現，還取決于薩爾瓦多人生活的切實改善和國家的整體繁榮。

由于缺乏強有力的反對派，政府內部需要提高警惕和反省，從而強化道德領導力、透明度和對人民福祉的承諾的重要性。
