VOICED : Salvadorenos exigen a Congreso que apruebe credito para seguridad publica

Around a thousand people protested in San Salvador, demanding Congress approve a $109 million loan for security forces. They expressed frustration with both right-wing and opposition lawmakers for not supporting President Nayib Bukele's government. The funds are intended for military and police equipment to combat gangs. Most protesters were supporters of Bukele's Nuevas Ideas party. They left black crosses at Congress, signaling that uncooperative lawmakers would not be reelected in 2021. Bukele faced criticism for deploying military and police to Congress on February 9 to push for the loan's approval.
