Bukele Claims France Could Restore Order in ‘One Week’
Nayib Bukele said France could restore order in a week after more than 2,400 arrests and about 1,000 injured police officers.
- On Sunday, October 18, President Nayib Bukele asserted that France could resolve its recurring domestic security crises in one week if the French Government adopted his uncompromising law enforcement approach.
- Violent riots gripped French cities over the weekend of October 17-18, with masked militants attacking police stations and town halls, resulting in more than 2,400 arrests and around 1,000 police officer injuries.
- Bukele's confidence stems from El Salvador's dramatic security transformation since 2022, where he oversaw more than 90,000 arrests while the official homicide rate plummeted from 106.3 to 0.97 per 100,000 residents.
- France faces structural hurdles: prison figures published in September showed 141.6 per cent occupancy, while Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International strongly oppose such methods.
- Political debate has intensified, with Marine Le Pen describing France as held hostage 'between violence and impotence,' while President Donald Trump blamed the chaos on decades of mass immigration.
