El Salvador's Bukele justifies unlimited re-election: ‘Democracy isn't dying'
El Salvador President Nayib Bukele has defended a sweeping constitutional reform that removes presidential term limits, dismissing criticism of authoritarianism. The reform, passed by a Bukele-controlled Congress, also extends presidential terms from five to six years. read more El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele defended a constitutional revision that allows him to seek unlimited re-election on Sunday, criticising critics who claim it signals the Central American country's rising authoritarianism. 'Ninety percent of developed countries allow the indefinite reelection of their head of government, and no one bats an eye. But when a small, poor country like El Salvador tries to do the same, suddenly it's the end of democracy,' Bukele wrote in English on X. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The change was approved Thursday by El Salvador's Congress, which is controlled by Bukele's New Ideas party. Additionally, it increases the length of presidential terms from five to six years. Having been president since 2019 and re-elected in 2024 with 85% of the vote, 44-year-old Bukele now controls almost all of the nation's institutions, a situation the opposition refers to as a 'dictatorship.' His uncompromising stance against criminal gangs has garnered him a lot of sympathy at home, but his strategy has drawn harsh criticism from both domestic and international rights organisations. Bukele has prominently backed US President Donald Trump's deportation drive by accepting hundreds of expelled Venezuelan migrants held in the infamous CECOT prison under dubious legal grounds. The constitutional reforms came after a wave of arrests targeting human rights defenders and government critics, prompting dozens of journalists and humanitarian workers to flee the country. One of the few opposition lawmakers in the unicameral legislature, Marcela Villatoro, criticized the reforms on Thursday, saying: 'today, democracy has died in El Salvador.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Bukele argued that the changes brought El Salvador into line with parliamentary systems where the prime minister can hold office indefinitely. Critics will 'rush to point out that 'a parliamentary system isn't the same as a presidential one,' as if that technicality justifies the double standard,' he wrote in his post. 'But let's be honest, that's just a pretext. Because if El Salvador declared itself a parliamentary monarchy with the exact same rules as the UK, Spain, or Denmark, they still wouldn't support it,' he added, claiming critics would 'go ballistic if that happened'. With its reform, El Salvador joins Nicaragua and Venezuela as Latin American nations without presidential term limits.

Devendra Fadnavis Defends Public Security Bill, Warns Urban Naxals Of Arrest
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has made it clear that the Special Public Security Bill is not for taking action against those who criticise the government, but warned that those who act like urban Naxals will be arrested under it. The Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill, 2024, which seeks to prevent unlawful activities of Left Wing Extremist organisations with focus on urban Naxalism and "passive militancy", was passed by the state legislature during the recent monsoon session of the state legislature. The bill, which has stringent provisions, including hefty fines and jail term up to seven years for those found guilty, has sparked criticism from civil society groups and opposition parties, who view it as a tool to suppress dissent under the pretext of national security. Talking to reporters here on Saturday, Fadnavis said the law was not against demonstrators or those who criticise the government. "If you act like an urban naxal, you will be arrested," he said when asked about Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray's challenge to the CM to arrest his party workers under the newly-passed legislation. On Raj Thackeray's charge that the CM wanted to forcibly teach young children Hindi but not Marathi to those coming from outside, Fadnavis said Marathi is mandatory in Maharashtra, but an additional Indian language should be learnt along with it. "I am opposed to laying a red carpet to English instead of an Indian language," he said.

Orlando Bloom Reacts To Ex-Girlfriend Katy Perry's Dating Rumours With Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
New Delhi: You must be living under a rock if you have not heard the dating rumours surrounding Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau. Speculation began when the pop icon was spotted multiple times with the former Canadian Prime Minister in Canada, just weeks after her split from actor Orlando Bloom. Now, Orlando Bloom has responded to these rumours – and he did it in the most subtle way. It all started when the satirical site, The Onion, shared a fake headline claiming that Bloom had moved on from Katy Perry and was now dating former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Yes, you read that right. The hilarious made-up story described a romantic evening complete with oysters, chocolate cake, and a quote saying Merkel had him laughing all night. 'Just weeks after announcing his split with fiancée Katy Perry, English actor Orlando Bloom was photographed Friday dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel,' it read, alongside an AI-generated photo of the two at a candlelit dinner, wine glasses in hand. Instead of ignoring it or getting defensive, Orlando Bloom joined in on the fun by simply dropping three clapping hands emojis in the comments, reported the Indian Express. FYI: Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau were spotted having dinner together in Montreal on July 28. Just two days later, on July 30, the former Canadian Prime Minister was seen cheering for Katy at her sold-out Lifetimes Tour concert at Montreal's Bell Centre. Last month, Katy and Orlando Bloom confirmed their split. The two first met in 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty and got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019. In 2020, they welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove. As for Justin Trudeau, he announced his separation from Sophie Gregoire in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. Sophie, a former TV host, and Justin share three children: Xavier, Ella-Grace and Hadrien.
