Nayib Bukele said that anyone who goes to El Salvador will find the best surfing beaches in the world, volcanoes everywhere, an incredible coffee, they will be able to walk with peace and tranquility through any corner of our country and especially, they will find a united people fighting for their freedom.

“We went from being a country unknown to many and those who knew it, knew it because of the gangs, because of the dead, because of the violence, because of the war; We went from that to being a country known for its beaches, for surfing, for its volcanoes, for its financial freedom, for its good government and for having put an end to organized crime,” he said.
