EL SALVADOR: Rowing back on transitional justice
Days before President Nayib Bukele took office on 1 June for a second five-year term, the national assembly, in which his personalist party Nuevas Ideas (NI) has 54 of the 60 seats, voted to shelve a legislative bill on transitional justice and reparations for victims of the 1980-1992 civil war.
