The President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, addressed the 76th United Nations General Assembly on Thursday through a pre-recorded message which was originally scheduled for Thursday but has been postponed by the organization.

In a message of only 6 minutes full of references to historical crises and “civilizational“, Bukele insisted on taking the opportunity that opens the current moment”analyze the way” taken.

Moreover, he predicted that the the world is heading “towards another crisis”, perhaps “much bigger”, which he compared to what happened in “World War II after the Great Depression.”

This could happen, according to him, because we are “In a world that is increasingly accelerated, more disunited, more anxious, more pessimistic and more individualistic.”

Referring to his visit to the same assembly two years ago, he took the opportunity to talk about the obsolescence of the body: “The same General Assembly that many years ago sparked optimism was approaching obsolescence. i tried it with a selfie, show the world that the world was changing and continues to change and that it is our duty to understand it in order to use our potential to take care of it and solve the problems that we can solve ”.

According to him, this was the first step in showing that “In El Salvador we were beginning to understand it”. But “this year I am here again to see how we failed to understand this warning and we are heading back to another crisis.”

Besides, with reference to himself and the critics received from the international community for violating democratic mechanisms, said: “It’s a world where if someone wants to do things differently, they are under attack”. The president was also questioned for his decision to impose bitcoin as legal tender in the Central American country.

Bukele said he would not call for “the overhaul of multilateralism”, but rather that announced the intention of his country to move on a new path “towards development, which is an example for other countries and which teaches the future in which we want to live”.

With quotes to the Chinese thinker Confucius and the German philosopher Goethe, The president spoke about building a future in which people do what they want. “And that’s why they will do it well, because they like it.” Where the economy is a means, not an end ”.

“We invite people from all over the world, who also think this way and who have not yet been absorbed by the hypercommunication of the system. God has already decided whether we will be successful. It is our destiny. We will do our best to achieve it “, concluded the Salvadoran president.
