纳伊布·布克尔
Curtailing opposition
减少反对者
On Aug. 23, El Faro, the Salvadoran newspaper where I am an editor, published an investigation into negotiations between President Nayib Bukele's government and El Salvador's gangs.
8月23日，萨尔瓦多新闻网站“ElFaro”（我在此担任编辑工作）发布了一份调查报告，内容是总统纳伊布·布克尔(Nayib Bukele)政府与萨尔瓦多黑帮之间的谈判。
The President dismissed the report in a tweet and later baselessly accused El Faro of lying.
总统在推特上否认了该报道，后来又毫无根据地指责El Faro撒谎。
This is the talent of a President who has brooked no criticism or opposition.
这是这名容不得任何批评和反对的总统的天赋。
In 2020, Bukele came to parliament surrounded by armed soldiers in order to pressure lawmakers to approve his budget.
2020年，布克尔带领武装士兵包围议会，向议员施压，要求其批准他的预算。
This May, he ordered the removal of the Supreme Court's judges—and now, the new appointees have ruled that Presidents can serve two consecutive terms.
今年5月，他下令撤掉最高法院的法官，而现在，新任命的法官规定总统可以连任两届。
The government's assault on El Faro—which also includes my expulsion from the country in July—aims to punish the paper for the sin of trying to deliver the best information to people.
政府对El faro的攻击——也包括在7月份将我驱逐出境——旨在处罚这家报社，因其犯下试图向人们传递真实信息的罪行。
To Bukele, the government's words are unquestionable, and anyone who says otherwise is first burned on social media and later, if they continue down their path, dealt with by the authorities.
在布克尔看来，政府的言论是毋庸置疑的，任何不同意政府说法的人首先会在社交媒体引发众怒，如果他们继续这样做，随后就会被当局处理。

In doing that, Biden is restoring faith among ordinary Americans that their government can work for them, and not just for wealthy campaign contributors.
拜登这样做是在重获普通美国人的信任，让他们知道政府是为他们服务的，而不是只为富有的竞选捐款人。

alleviate hunger and homelessness, reduce the child poverty rate by more than half and help revitalize the economy.
