Both countries have a history of government atrocities under strongmen and the guise of traditional/conservative values.
The interested reader can search "El Mozote massacre" and "Argentina's Dirty War."
I am super skeptical of Latin American strongmen. Sometimes I get a paranoid thought if the estimated number of criminals in El Salvador was fudged to justify mass incarceration.

Strong men in any/every country bother me. I can't think of one who ever left office peacefully. Leaders who have transformed their country or came in with crazy support like Nelson Mandela for example I wouldn't call a strong man.
