💨 Abstract

The Salvadoran Legislative Assembly dominated by President Nayib Bukele's Nuevas Ideas party approved a reform allowing indefinite presidential re-election. The reform modifies multiple articles in the Salvadoran Constitution to eliminate the second-round voting system and extend the presidential term to six years. The opposition, with only three votes, criticized the move, labeling it as "killing democracy" under legal pretexts.
