Lawmakers have approved constitutional amendments that eliminate term limits for the presidency, enabling President Nayib Bukele to potentially remain in power indefinitely.
The decision to proceed with these changes has raised questions about the timing and motivations behind the move, prompting discussions regarding the implications for governance and democratic processes in the country.
Supporters of the amendments argue that extending presidential terms could lead to stability and continuity in leadership, while critics warn that this could undermine democratic institutions and pave the way for authoritarianism.
The developments have sparked significant public and political debate, reflecting broader concerns about the balance of power and the future of democracy in the region.
