💨 Abstract

El Salvador’s Legislative Assembly passed a constitutional reform to eliminate presidential term limits, allowing President Nayib Bukele to potentially stay in power indefinitely. Critics argue this move concentrates power and dismantles democratic checks and balances, while supporters claim it reflects the will of the people. Bukele's administration, backed by a supermajority, has faced accusations of chipping away at democratic institutions and attacking opponents. The reform has sparked concerns about potential human rights abuses and the dismantling of democratic norms.
