In El Salvador, lawmakers aligned with President Nayib Bukele approved constitutional amendments Thursday that will allow presidents to run for reelection indefinitely. The reforms also extend presidential terms from five years to six and will end runoff elections. Opposition politician Marcela Villatoro accused lawmakers of condemning future generations to live under authoritarian rule.

Marcela Villatoro: “Because once they sit in that presidential chair, they never let go of that power. And we have had examples of dictatorships, and we have had examples of authoritarianism, both from the right and from the left, and neither is good.”

Last year, Nayib Bukele was sworn in to a second term as president even though El Salvador’s constitution prohibited him from running for reelection. Bukele is a close ally of President Donald Trump. He’s described himself as the “world’s coolest dictator.”
