The Congress of El Salvador ratified the elimination of state funding for political parties. This measure is part of a constitutional change that will come into effect within eight days.
The decision was made with a wide majority of votes in favor, reflecting the support the proposal had among legislators. This change represents a significant shift in the way political parties are funded in the country.
The President of the Republic, who supported this measure, emphasized the importance of reducing political parties' dependence on state money. This elimination of state funding aims to promote greater transparency and accountability in El Salvador's political system.
"It is essential for political parties to seek alternative sources of funding and adhere to the law at all times," the president stated after the ratification of this constitutional reform. This change will create a new scenario in the funding of politics in the Central American country.
