The law proposed by Bukele bypassed normal legislative procedures and was passed on Tuesday night by a Congress under the firm control of his New Ideas party.Bukele first tried to introduce a similar law in 2021, but after strong international backlash, it was never brought for a vote by the full Congress.

Bukele said the law is intended to limit foreign influence and corruption. It comes after the government took a number of steps that have prompted concerns the country may be entering a new wave of crackdowns. Critics warn that it falls in line with measures passed by governments in Nicaragua, Venezuela, Russia, Belarus and China.Here are more details about the root of the criticism:What does the law say?

Anyone — individual or organisation, local or foreign — who acts in the interest of a foreign entity or receives foreign funding to operate in El Salvador is required to register under the law.Every payment, whether in cash, goods or services, made to such groups will be subject to a 30-percent tax. The final law passed does not specify how the money from the tax will be used.

While the United States also has a law that requires individuals working on behalf of foreign entities and governments to register, Bukele’s is far broader in scope and grants him greater powers. It is fairly common in poorer countries in Latin America to depend on international aid dollars, as it is often difficult to raise money in their own countries.

Analysts say a broad definition of a “foreign agent” in the law could cover:German Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticised Israel’s recent military actions in Gaza, saying the scale of civilian harm can no longer be justified as a fight against Hamas. While reaffirming Germany’s interest in remaining Israel’s ally, he warned that the country risks alienating its closest friends if it continues on this path.

“All the aid authorised until now amounts to a teaspoon of aid when a flood of assistance is required,” he said.The UN chief said the Israeli campaign has intensified with “atrocious levels of death and destruction,” while access for humanitarian groups remains dangerous and erratic. “Eighty percent of Gaza has been either declared an Israeli militarised zone or is under evacuation orders,” he noted.
