Maybe before such an ad hominem you need to become a bit more familiar with recent developments in El salvador. Associating this government initiative with criminality is a very reasonable thing to do.

I read the article and then I did some more research. His government was elected with a significant majority. Per the constitution they have a legal right to replace judges and even though the article skips those facts they never actually claim criminality - since there is no evidence of such.

Looking back at history, El Salvadore was devastated by a 12 year long civil war [1] in the 1980’s funded to the tune of $1-2 million USD per day by the US Government (Carter and Reagan administrations) funding child soldiers and such - let’s talk about that criminality.
