YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Blaze's Peter Gietl and Salvadoran journalist Ricardo Avelar debate the merits of Nayib Bukele's criminal justice policies.
Peter Gietl of Blaze Media and Salvadoran journalist Ricardo Avelar debate the resolution, "President Nayib Bukele's crime-fighting policies in El Salvador provide a model for reducing violence in other Latin American countries."
Arguing in favor is Gietl, the managing editor for Return and Frontier magazine for Blaze Media. In November of last year, Gietl published a lengthy photojournalistic essay chronicling his travels to El Salvador, called "J'Adore El Salvador," where he concludes by asking: "can we bottle [El Salvador's transformation] up and ship it back to America?"
Taking the negative is Avelar, a senior journalist and presenter for the Central American news outlet Revista Factum. In 2021, he co-directed a docuseries called 9F: The return of rifles, which is about the "El Bukelazo" events of February 9, 2020.
The debate is moderated by Soho Forum director Gene Epstein.
