The United States reacted to the decision of the court of El Salvador to allow the president to be elected for a second term

"The US government condemns the September 3 ruling of the Constitutional Division of the Supreme Court of El Salvador, which allowed the immediate re-election of the President in violation of the Constitution of El Salvador," - said in a statement on the website of the US Department of State.

It is noted that the constitution of El Salvador prohibits the incumbent president from being elected for a second consecutive term.

The message states that this decision harms relations between the United States and El Salvador.

On July 28, former President of Salvador Sanchez Serena, as well as four other members of the government of former President Mauricio Funes, were put on the international wanted list in the case of illegal enrichment and money laundering.
