It is not easy to judge the role of President Nayib Bukele from outside El Salvador. He has already had many steps that must be recognized, but he also has some moves that are thought-provoking. For example, the current one. According to this, he will resign as president on February 4, 2024, but only so that he can be re-elected and start a new mandate in June 2024. Bukele goes on a six-month break All this is necessary because the Supreme Court of the country ruled in 2021 that Bukele can only get another mandate if he resigns six months before the second presidential mandate. This is what he will do now. Many Salvadorans were worried that the two big Salvadoran gangs (Barrio 18 and MS-13) would try to take advantage of the changes brought about by the resignation, but the legislature approved presidential protection for him for the interim period as well. Claudia Juana Rodríguez de Guevara will be acting president during this period. Rodríguez de Guevara, whose name strikes a chord with many, has been working with Bukele for a long time, holding several positions alongside him during his career. Most recently, he worked as the state secretary of the presidential office. It is interesting that he does not live his life as publicly as Bukele, he hardly has any posts on social media. During his six-month presidency, no major changes are likely to occur. Thus, it is also impossible to know whether any changes may occur in the relationship between Salvador and Bitcoin. The most likely thing is that everything will go forward in the same way as it has been, and even according to many, Bukele will move the threads from the background.
