The El Salvador Journalists Association will move its legal registration out of its home country after a foreign agents law was passed earlier this year imposing a 30 percent tax on foreign donations to domestic NGOs and media outlets. The association, founded in 1936, did not name the country where it plans to move, but said it would continue its work in defending journalists and press freedom in El Salvador. In July, WPR columnist James Bosworth cited the foreign agents law as one aspect of a familiar script being followed by President Nayib Bukele in dismantling El Salvador’s democracy. Bukele’s anti-gang crackdown has metastasized into a general campaign targeting his critics, suggesting “he intends to act quickly to remove any pockets of dissent that might cause problems later should popular sentiment turn against him,” Bosworth wrote.
