El Salvador's Radical Plan for Foreign Talent

Salvador, the self-proclaimed "world's coolest dictator," has initiated various radical moves since taking power.
He successfully curbed gang violence in his country and now aims to establish a Bitcoin City.
Salvador's latest plan involves attracting foreign talent by offering free passports as part of a $5 billion project.
The country plans to provide 5,000 passports to highly skilled foreign workers, including scientists, engineers, doctors, artists, and philosophers.
El Salvador will assist in the relocation of these individuals, covering all costs and eliminating taxes.
Families of the foreign workers will be accommodated, their assets taken care of, and upon moving, they will become citizens with voting rights.
Salvador views these individuals as assets that will contribute to the economy and aid in the country's growth.
Despite concerns about potential problems, Salvador remains confident in the plan, offering only 5,000 passports, a small fraction of the country's population.
The country's economy, however, poses a challenge to the realization of these ambitious goals, with high public debt and slow growth rates.
