🇸🇻 Bukele Turns Tomb Into Power

Nayib Bukele is using the remains of dead hero Francisco Morazan in El Salvador as part of a new political project, according to the New York Times. The report says Bukele, sword in hand, is revamping Latin America’s tradition of political exhumations and has built a new crypt meant to project his power across Central America.

When rulers lean on graves, monuments, and historical theater, it usually signals power being centralized through symbolism as much as institutions. In a region shaped by weak states and personality-driven rule, that kind of spectacle matters beyond borders.
