The key to saving the environment is not looking backward, it’s moving forward. I realized this the first time I visited Italy twenty years ago. Everything was clean and green. The rivers sparkled. The lesson for me was obvious: the answer is not underdevelopment. The answer is progress. When China was poor, the air was so polluted that people could barely see the blue sky. Today, blue skies have returned to their cities. Development does not only create wealth, it also provides the resources needed to restore and protect the environment. Some environmentalists want us to preserve every aspect of our biodiversity, including the mosquitoes for example, so that researchers can fly in once every ten years from their universities (which build particle accelerators and billion-dollar laboratories with their pocket money), study our ecosystems, and count how many people died from dengue outbreaks. They want to buy our air through carbon credits. If carbon credits were such a great deal, they would be selling them to us, not the other way around. Cleaning every river, lake, and water source in El Salvador, and ensuring they remain clean and sparkling, would cost roughly $12 billion. Where is that money supposed to come from without economic development? Carbon credits? The path forward for our country is the path of Japan and Singapore, not the path of the Congo.

Nigeria’s economy is 6–8 times larger than El Salvador’s. Even its GDP is eight times bigger than theirs. Nigeria is richer than El Salvador, and yet it cannot even boast of having a world-class hospital like this.

Je pense que les gens ne réalisent pas qu’une fois que tu as réglé la criminalité, que les rues sont propres et paisibles, et qu’un minuscule pourcentage de personnes cherche à gruger le système, le jeu passe littéralement en mode facile. Tu peux te concentrer sur l’économie, les infrastructures, l’activité commence à s’accélérer parce que les gens sont rassurés et heureux, ce qui crée un cercle vertueux. On peut critiquer Nayib Bukele, mais c’est une réalité. Et on n’a pas vraiment de leçons à donner étant donné qu’on est dans la situation totalement inverse en Occident, où tout le monde cherche à tricher, où les prisons sont surpeuplées et dégueulasses, et où l’on est débordés par des problèmes annexes qui nous empêchent de nous concentrer sur la qualité de vie, etc., etc.

For the New National Hospital, we hired 3,200 people: 3,000 Salvadorans and 200 specialists from other countries. Why? I explain it here in 1 minute.

Increíble que con apenas una inversión de $61 millones, @nayibbukele haya remodelado y convertido este hospital en uno del primer mundo, y de los más modernos de centroamérica, en Venezuela solamente Tareck El Aissami se robó el equivalente a 345 presupuestos de estos.🥴

Security is the foundation upon which everything else is built. When people feel secure, solidarity no longer sounds like socialism. it becomes common sense ! Security fosters harmony, and that harmony strengthens both the collective will and the sense of community within a population. I’m now old enough to know that there are only two great injustices in life: illness and the circumstances of your birth. That is why, despite being a classical liberal, I have always believed in universal access to healthcare and education.

NicoleFX7 El Hospital Rosales (el del video) se financió con **fondos propios** del gobierno de El Salvador (impuestos), no con el préstamo del BID que ya existía. Costó ~$61M. **Sostenibilidad**: - Diseño moderno y eficiente: ahorros >20% en energía y agua, costos operativos más bajos. - Crecimiento económico real: turismo 92% desde 2019, ~4M visitantes en 2025, GDP creciendo ~3-4%. La baja criminalidad genera más actividad y recaudación. - Gestión centralizada enfoque en calidad pública (mejor que muchos privados en equipo). Al final, como todo servicio público gratis, depende de finanzas fiscales responsables a largo plazo y que la economía siga fuerte. Eso es lo que el gobierno está apostando. 👀

Bukele rebasó por la derecha a Arena y también rebasó por la izquierda al FMLN. Muchos no lo entenderán, pero es así.
