This is not a "government", it's one guy who says he is the will of the people, that he knows better and that he has all the power to make arbitrary decisions. There are no rules to which he subjects himself. If price gouging is a crime, the what, how and why must be spelled out in a law and not depend on the guy's personal opinion that day.
If, as he says in his latest video threatening traders, "he has the files" collecting a long list of crimes he says the traders have committed, from bribery of customs officials to tax evasion, his duty is not to keep personal folders to be used as blackmail, but to prosecute them and give them a fair trial, according to the laws and the rule of law.
I'm not even saying the supposed "crimes", like the fictitious crime of "tax evasion", should be such. What I'm saying is there are laws and rules, and Bukele is subject to them first and foremost. Otherwise, he's just another dictator. And to top it up, just as I originally said, he seems to be of the socialist variety, given what he uses his dictatorial powers for.
