🇸🇻🇸🇻🚨🚨💥On May 13, 2025, President Nayib Bukele announced a new law to promote the well-being of cooperatives and Salvadoran families. Bukele explained that this law arises as a response to the manipulation of humble people by leftist groups and NGOs, evidenced in protests motivated by a judicial case dating back to 2008. To prevent future abuses and support those most in need, a 30% tax on donations to these organizations is established. The funds raised will be used to pay off the debts of cooperatives, which are essential for the local economy and the livelihoods of many farmers and rural communities, thus allowing them to continue their important support work.
Cooperatives in El Salvador play an important role in the local economy, especially for small farmers and rural communities. However, some cooperatives face financial difficulties due to accumulated debts, which affects their ability to support their members.
Bukele's proposal has generated various reactions among the Salvadoran population. Many celebrate the initiative, seeing it as an opportunity to strengthen the local economy and support the most needy families. They believe that by settling the debts of cooperatives, agricultural development will be boosted and more job opportunities will be created in rural areas.
