New reform allows Bukele to remain president until El Salvador wins the World Cup.
Cucatlán de Don Porfirio.- Nayib Bukele will now be able to seek reelection as president until El Salvador wins the World Cup, according to a new reform approved by his country's Congress.
The proposal was approved by an automatic majority, without the need for reading or discussion, while all the deputies repeated the word "Presi!" like a mantra, and several people were perched high in the chamber, apparently with binoculars.
Bukele reforms the Constitution to allow indefinite presidential reelection.

The reform, dubbed "Democratic Goal 2025," establishes that the president may seek indefinite reelection until El Salvador wins the World Cup or until the Mexican national anthem is properly played during qualifying matches.
Although the international community has expressed some concern, only Nicaragua has dared to express its concern:
"Let's hope El Salvador doesn't take too long to win the World Cup, otherwise Nayib will become unbearable."
#Bukele will be able to be reelected indefinitely.
The Legislative Assembly of El Salvador approved the constitutional reform that allows for indefinite presidential reelection .
It also approved the elimination of the second round and the extension of the presidency to six years.

For his part, Bukele has already presented his national work plan so that his country can one day win the World Cup, which includes:
-
Naturalize 11 Bayern Munich players.
-
Using Bitcoin to chat with FIFA.
-
Apply a “zero tolerance” policy to referees who whistle against them.
-
And send Loret de Mola to the VAR.
“I trust our boys. And if we don't win in 2026, we have 2030. And if not, 2034. And if not… well, there's always the peace of mind of having tried,” Bukele said, while posing for a giant portrait that will be placed in all government offices… and on training camps.
And just in case you missed it: a van crashed into a bar that had an altar to Belinda, and nothing happened to the image.Important: Remember that El Deforma is a site for entertainment, humor, and satire.
