The Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele accused the Paris fashion week on Sunday to “glorify criminals”. The trigger was a fashion show that was stained as a protest person who was recorded in El Salvador in a high -security prison.
The designer of Mexican origin, Willy Chavarria, born in the USA, presented a fashion show in Paris on Friday, in which several tattooed men knelt in white T-shirts and shorts. This attitude and clothing is similar to that of the inmates of the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT). The Cecot is the high -security prison built by Bukele for the detention of gang members. There were also 252 Venezuelans, which were deported by the United States.
“This is the result of the glorification of criminals in Paris. Anyone who spares the wolf sacrifices the sheep,” wrote Bukele in a message on X, together with the video of a young woman who states without further explanation of living in the French capital. Bukele’s contribution was shared by the billionaire Elon Musk, owner of X, Tesla and SpaceX.
Human rights organizations have sharply criticized the detention of the Venezuelans in the Cecot. The government of US President Donald Trump accuses them of belonging to the criminal gang of Tren de Aragua without having presented evidence.
“We are ready to send them to Paris as soon as we get the green light from the French government,” Bukele mocked in an earlier news on Saturday in response to Chavarrias fashion show with the kneeling models, which held the hands on the back on a red carpet.
In a further message, the Salvadorian presidency emphasized that this presentation “tribute paid tribute”. Bukele enjoys great popularity with his war against the gangs. However, the state of emergency, which he imposed in March 2022 to wage this war, is rejected by humanitarian groups because he allows arrests without a court order.
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Local NGOs denounce that there are thousands of innocent people among the 87,000 arrested, which are accused of gang crime or complicity. They also report torture and around 400 deaths in prisons.
