President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador declared himself the winner of the country’s presidential election. According to its own figures, it would have obtained more than 85 % of the votes in the preliminary ballot of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE). Although these results have yet to be ratified in a final ballot with the physical records, Bukele’s advantage over his opponents seems overwhelming.

In his victory speech at the Historic Center of San Salvador, Bukele declared: “We have won the presidency of the Republic for the second time with more than 85% of the votes.” The New Ideas (NI) party, led by Bukele, is in the lead, while the Farabundo Martí Front for National Liberation (FMLN, left) received 110,244 votes and the Nationalist Republican Alliance (Arena, right) received 96,700 votes.

However, the judge of the TSE, William Wellman, warned that the results presented by Bukele are not official. According to Wellman, “we are the ones who give the official results” and “what is said outside of here is not official until we affirm it”.

If the figures are confirmed, Bukele would become the first president of El Salvador to be re-elected, despite the constitutional prohibition. His victory is based on his focus on security, which included the detention of more than 75,000 Salvadorans without charges, which resulted in a significant decrease in homicide rates in the country.

Although some analysts question the long-term sustainability of this strategy, Bukele garnered massive support from voters seeking a solution to the violence and insecurity in El Salvador.

The US securities regulator could change its approach to crypto enforcement depending on key elections in 2024, says former SEC official John Reed Stark. In a tweet, he predicts that the Republican president could influence crypto regulation, possibly naming crypto-friendly commissioner Hester Peirce as chair.

Several Republican candidates are running, with Donald Trump as the most popular, followed by Ron de Santis and Senator Tim Scott. If a Republican wins, Stark suggests that Peirce replace Gary Gensler as SEC chairman. Peirce is known as “Crypto Mom” or the “criptomadre”.

Stark notes polarization in cryptocurrency regulation. In 2017, politicians like Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton considered cryptocurrencies a “dangerous plague.” Today, there is division: Ron de Santis wants to “protect” bitcoin, while Elizabeth Warren fights against cryptocurrencies.

Until a Republican sits in the Oval Office, Stark said the regulator was unlikely to become any more crypto-friendly, predicting that the SEC will reject the current spate of applications for spot bitcoin ETFs for a series of “compelling” reasons.

Outgoing Vice President Mike Pence had rejected Trump’s request to executive refuse to validate Biden’s election, arguing in a letter that he did not understand that he had the legal power to decide which votes are counted and which are not, for which he has already been attacked by Trump and held responsible by the president for the disorders.

Pence called for the violence in Congress to “end now” after supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the building.

“The violence and destruction that occurs in the Capitol must stop and must end now,” he said on his Twitter account.

In more than 60 lawsuits, President Trump’s legal team attempted to demonstrate massive fraud in several key states, allegedly perpetrated in the massive mail-in ballot resulting from the covid-19 pandemic; but it was not successful, reason why the still tenant of the White House tried to maneuver politically to burn his last cartridge, when preventing the official proclamation of Biden.

Just over a dozen Republican senators contested the election before the bicameral session was called off due to riots inside the Capitol.

The world speaks out and calls for caution in the face of the assault by the protesters

While in Washington a curfew was established from 6:00 pm. local time and the state of Virginia mobilized the National Guard outside the Capitol, representatives and international leaders spoke in amazement, condemning the serious events in the US capital.

German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas urged supporters of US President Donald Trump to “stop trampling on democracy” after they stormed the US Congress in Washington.

“Trump and his followers should finally accept the decision of the American voters and stop trampling on democracy,” he tweeted, adding that “inflammatory words turn into violent actions”.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson denounced the “shameful scenes” in Washington after the arrival of supporters of President Donald Trump in the US Congress and called for a “peaceful transition” of power with Democrat Joe Biden.

Shameful scenes in the US Congress. The United States is the defender of democracy throughout the world and now the transfer of power is prevented from being done in a peaceful and orderly manner, “he estimated in a tweet.

The High Representative (head of diplomacy) of the EU, Josep Borrell, denounced an unprecedented assault on democracy in the United States, and called for respect for the result of the presidential elections in November.

“In the eyes of the world, American democracy appears to be under siege. It is an unprecedented assault on America’s democracy, its institutions, and the rule of law. This is not America. The results of the November 3 elections must be fully respected, “Borrell said on Twitter.

Complex American day did not manage to affect WS too much at the end

Investors focused more on what was happening in Georgia, where the final makeup of the Senate was defined, than on the riots and events in Washington.

The Dow Jones posted a 1.44% gain and the S&P 500 0.57%.

However, different senior executives and corporate spokesmen condemned what happened, expressed their displeasure and urged to respect the laws and the Constitution.

The focus of investors in Georgia is due to the fact that Democrats won a close race for a seat in the US Senate in that state on Wednesday and had a lead in the second place or position at stake, closing in on the control of the upper house, which, in turn, would further advance President-elect Joe Biden’s political goals when he takes office this month.

Four people are reported dead and several injured on the outskirts of Congress

“A shooting victim was transported from the Capitol,” a person linked to an emergency service told AFP, adding that there were “other wounded” in the area. According to The Washington Post, citing the police, the victim was a white woman wounded in the shoulder, while CNN reported that she was hospitalized in critical condition. His death was confirmed late at night.

Soon after, the police gave a more complete and accurate report: the occupation of the Capitol by supporters agitated by Trump left 4 dead.
