El Salvador President Bukele Open to Extended Term Amid Legal Questions

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, currently serving his second term, has indicated openness to remaining in power for an additional decade. This follows a constitutional reform by the ruling party-controlled Congress that abolished term limits and extended presidential terms. While Bukele enjoys high approval ratings for his crime reduction policies, legal experts question the constitutionality of his re-election bids, citing prohibitions against consecutive re-election. Critics also raise concerns about civil rights abuses under his administration.
