El Salvador's Congress clears hurdle to speed constitutional reforms
- El Salvador's Congress ratified a constitutional reform that will make it easier and faster to make constitutional changes in the future, a change critics say will allow President Nayib Bukele and his party to further consolidate power.
- The reform allows constitutional changes to be approved with just the vote of three quarters of legislators, instead of requiring approval in two separate legislatures.
- Lawmakers extended a nearly three-year-old state of emergency that suspends basic rights for another month to continue fighting street gangs.
- The acceptance of cryptocurrency by businesses was made voluntary, a change requested by the International Monetary Fund.
