Cuban President congratulates Bukele for electoral victory

Havana, Feb 7 (Prensa Latina) Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel today congratulated his Salvadoran counterpart Nayib Bukele on his re-election for a second term in office in El Salvador.

On the social network X, the leader of Cuba wished Bukele success in his new administration and ratified the Cuban side’s willingness to advance in strengthening bilateral relations between both countries.

The candidate of the New Ideas party achieved last Sunday an overwhelming victory over the rest of the contending political forces, which will make him the first Salvadoran president elected for a second consecutive term.

According to Bukele himself, in a speech from the National Palace after the first results of the elections were known, his option would have won the presidency of the country with 85 percent of the votes.

Likewise, Nuevas Ideas also won in the Legislative Assembly with 58 of the 60 deputies to the nation’s parliament, which consolidates its power to continue promoting economic and social transformations in El Salvador.

Numerous governments such as Mexico, China, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama, and Uruguay, among others, congratulated Nayib Bukele for his victory at the polls, which still generates controversy among his opponents.
