El Salvador’s Congress clears hurdle to speed constitutional reforms
Associated PressFEB 1
This unconstitutional constitutional amendment has bypassed parliamentary procedures, Supreme Court rulings, and constitutional requirements to further consolidate the authoritarian regime of Nayib Bukele. In the Salvadoran nearly single-party system, opens the door for express changes at the will of his Nuevas Ideas party.
This amendment represents a decisive step towards the elimination of political debt — the use of taxpayers' money to finance political party — in El Salvador, as Bukele and his Nuevas Ideas promised to the nation. It's great news that public funds will now be used more efficiently.
