San Salvador. A pedido del gobierno de Nayib Bukele, el Congreso de El Salvador aprobó la noche del martes extender por tercera ocasión y por 30 días más un régimen de excepción vigente desde marzo, y que permite detenciones sin órdenes judiciales. La medida fue aprobada por amplia mayoría, en el Parlamento controlado por los aliados de Bukele.

“Un pandillero en una comunidad es como una célula cancerígena, y tenemos que aplicar quimioterapia. No vamos a descansar hasta que el último pandillero en nuestro territorio haya sido capturado”, afirmó el ministro de Justicia y Seguridad, Gustavo Villatoro, ante el Parlamento al solicitar la prórroga del régimen de excepción.
