El Salvador’s Constitutional Court has given President Bukele the green light to run for president for a consecutive term. While the Salvadoran Constitution prohibits presidential reelection in four different articles, the Constitutional Court issued an interpretation on Saturday that would allow President Nayib Bukele to run for reelection in 2024. The issuing court’s judges were recently appointed in May by the National Assembly, which is ruled by Bukele’s party, after having the previous judges removed. The authoritarian move is reminiscent of the actions of the Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández and Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega, both of whom used their countries’ judicial system to achieve the same end – reelection. Various human rights organizations have issued statements against the actions of the Constitutional Court, expressing how it will negatively impact democratic governance and rule of law in El Salvador. Meanwhile, hundreds of Salvadorans have gone to the streets to protest the ruling.
