💨 Abstract

In El Salvador, the legislative assembly approved a constitutional amendment allowing presidential re-election without limits, with the support of President Nayib Bukele's party holding 57 out of 60 seats. Critics like Marcela Villatoro compare Bukele's tactics to those of dictators in Nicaragua and Venezuela. Bukele, who has described himself as "the coolest dictator," enjoys Washington's backing, which is crucial as he aims to consolidate power.
