Draft:Bukelism Ideology

Overview
Bukelism is the political style of Nayib Bukele, President of El Salvador. One of the things Bukele has been doing is using social media to communicate directly with the people, portraying himself as a leader, as well as communicating his presidential beliefs. His administration concentrates on anti-gang measures to improve general security. This measure has led to the decline in the rate of crime but arouses concerns over human rights due to the uncivil arrests. Besides, the majority of the public is still on his side. His power and undermining of democratic institutions make some people fear his authoritarianism. Controversies apart, the charismatic, direct style keeps him popular.

History
Nayib Bukele's origin, together with the political party Nuevas Ideas, dates back to 2017. The party's promise of a new approach to government quickly gained popularity. Although Bukele has never publicly identified with either right-wing or left-wing, most of the decisions as a president tend to flow toward the right wing. Nuevas Ideas follows a populist ideology, where many citizens who felt that their voice was not being heard or felt the government was corrupted got attracted to them.

His ideas would eventually mix into what is now today: Bukelism. This approach combines elements of pragmatism, authoritarianism, and a focus on public security. Bukele promises to deal with the issues of corruption, crime, and economic development with effective action. This is why many Salvadorans favor Bukele. Bukelism has therefore become a new era in Salvadoran politics, marked by progress and at times controversy.

Etymology
Bukelism comes from Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele's name (Bukele). The 'ism' comes from the meaning of it. The suffix 'ism' is commonly used when referencing political ideologies or philosophies.
