El-Salvador Corruption & Bitcoin(BTC)
Bukele’s government has faced many allegations of corruption throughout its reign in power to date. Furthermore, ever since Nayib Bukele became the President of El-Salvador in 2019, corruption has ruled over El-Salvador. Moreover, the whole media was upon him when the covid-19 crisis took place. It is explained Bukele’s government made ample corruption, leaving no emergency funding for Covid-19. Besides, this created a huge ruckus throughout the country. Also, those government officials who stood against him were immediately sacked off from power. In the financial year 2020, between March 2020 and March 2021, El-Salvador’s international reserves declined 36.6%. In 2019, El-Salvador’s national debt was about 71%. The central government debt rose about 15.9% in the first few months of 2021.
Amidst all the crises created by Bukele’s government, half of the El-Salvador depict Bukele’s idea would enhance the future of El-Salvador. On the contrary, the other half suggests corruption will prevail more than ever. They claim it’s completely illogical as many of the El-Salvadorians don’t use laptops and mobile phones. In such a situation how can BTC as legal tender help them? The answers for further truth regarding El-Salvador remains a mystery, yet to be known. Future for sure has an answer though.
