#ElSalvador | President @nayibbukele’s confrontation with the Congress over the financing for his security plan has the country on edge. The president has ordered Congress to come to session on Sunday, called for a protest the same day, and talks about “insurrection.”

@nayibbukele

@nayibbukele It’s the first time in years a president has called for an “extraordinary session” of Congress, and the only time *demanding* members vote on a funding bill. He is basing this demand on Article 167 of the Constitution.

@nayibbukele

@nayibbukele Salvadoran President Bukele has threatened members of Congress with “consequences” if they don’t meet what he has called “their constitutional obligation.”
