In a controversial and historic move, the Parliament of El Salvador has passed legislation abolishing presidential term limits, allowing the current President Nayib Bukele to run for an unlimited number of terms. The bill also extends the presidential term from five to six years, a change that has already sparked intense debate both within the country and globally.
President Bukele, known for his populist style and heavy social media presence, has maintained high approval ratings throughout his presidency. Supporters argue that the reforms reflect the will of the people and provide stability for long-term development. Critics, however, warn that these changes signal a dangerous drift toward authoritarianism, undermining democratic checks and balances.
