Bukele announces break with the OAS commission against corruption in El Salvador
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele announced this Friday that his government would break the agreement with the Organization of American States (OAS) that gives life to the International Commission Against Impunity in El Salvador (Cicies).
“We have decided that as Presidency, we will also break our agreement with the OAS-Cicies because it is complete nonsense that we are trying to fight impunity with precisely the people who are promoting impunity in El Salvador,” Bukele said in a press conference.
Bukele assured that this decision is due to the announcement of the OAS Secretary General, Luis Almagro, to have as an advisor the former mayor of San Salvador Ernesto Muyshondt, criminally prosecuted in El Salvador.
