Salvadorans gather at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles to support the Bukele government

By Milagro Orellana

Dozens of Salvadorans gathered at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles, California, to support the government of President Nayib Bukele. The event took place in the Levitt Pavilion acoustic shell, located on the north side of the park.

The group of Nuevas Ideas followers that packed this very place two years ago, was considerably reduced in this Saturday's event, in which Mike Cargiles participated, Republican candidate for Congress from the District 35 Of California, and main contender of Congresswoman Norma Torres.

Cargiles stated in his speech that he supports Nayib Bukele's management and that he recognizes the work done by the Salvadoran ruler.

While this concentration was taking place, there was also the presence of another group that stated that they did not agree with the millennial president's way of governing.. This generated a dispute that required the presence of the Los Angeles Police to avoid violent acts at the scene..

The activity took place one day before the commemoration of the thirtieth anniversary of the signing of the Peace Agreements in El Salvador, a date that the ruling party has delegitimized on several occasions.
