El Salvador’s president says Soros pays Latin American journalists for 'influence peddling'

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has accused billionaire financier George Soros of dictating public policy and laws.

Report informs that Bukele has long had a grouse against Soros, blaming him for engaging in "influence peddling" in El Salvador through his Open Society Foundation.

“Why does he feel entitled to impose his agenda,” he asked at the annual conference of the US Conservative Political Action in Maryland.

He had accused several left-wing publications of running a smear campaign against him, campaigns that he claimed were funded by Soros.

"In all Latin American countries there are media and 'journalists' paid by Soros. In reality they are not journalists, they are political activists with a defined and perverse global agenda," Bukele believes.
