The critic i have for the El Salvador government is that they are implementing everything within a short period of time which will cause issues and the launch itself is facing issue with the network stability to handle the traffic. They should have taken proper precautions before launching everything rather than looking for the headlines 
.
The plans were in motion long before the news and the "headlines" so it is not exactly done in a short period of time. Besides they may not have been expecting such a huge interest in such a short time towards their wallet and bitcoin from the citizens..Besides we can't really blame something brand new, it is bound to have flaws. They just have to work on getting better servers, improve their efficiency and better protect against DDoS attacks.
