shouted against President for bitcoin adoption and the removal of Supreme Court
judges. Bukele who seeks to elect for a second term as President proclaimed
himself as "dictator" of the Central American country on his Twitter
account last month. Bukele's party voted to fire the judges on the
constitutional panel of the Supreme Court, among the most senior jurists in the
country, as well as the then-attorney general. That triggers harsh criticism
from internal opposition, the United States as well as top international rights
groups. The action of sacking Supreme Court judges, which many of his critics
see as a power grab.
