#ElSalvador | This morning the Organization of American States said that "we completely reject" the reasons given on Friday by the Bukele admin to cut off cooperation with the @OEA_CICIES, the International Commission against Impunity in #ElSalvador. oas.org/es/centro_noti… Bukele argued that "the OAS has no intention to fight impunity in El Salvador" because Secretary General Luis Almagro had contracted former San Salvador mayor Ernesto Muyshondt, of opposition party Arena, as an advisor. Bukele called Muyshondt a "delinquent."

#ElSalvador | The Bukele administration has announced that next week it will sponsor a bill to convert #Bitcoin into legal tender alongside the $USD. El Salvador dollarized its economy in 2001. "Central banks are increasingly taking actions that may cause harm to the economic stability of El Salvador," reads part of the bill. The move won't replace the dollar, but rather allow the Central Bank to acquire reserves of Bitcoin. Image

#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 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.
