El Salvador scraps term limits, paving way for Bukele to rule indefinitely

El Salvador's congress has approved constitutional reforms to abolish presidential term limits, allowing President Nayib Bukele to run an unlimited number of times.

The reform, reviewed under an expedited procedure, will also extend term times to from five to six years, while the next election will be brought forward to 2027.

Mr. Bukele, who has been president of the Central American nation since 2019, is a polarizing figure. His major crackdown on crime has proved popular among voters, but human rights groups say thousands have been arbitrarily arrested.

"Today, democracy has died in El Salvador," said Marcela Villatoro, an MP with the opposition Republican National Alliance (Arena).

Fortunately, it's not that easy to amend to US Constitution.
