Debate 🇸🇻 El Salvador

Salvadoran legislators from several parties call for a debate on legalisation

A cross-party group of members of parliament announced that it would open a debate on legalising drugs. The archbishop had asked for a discussion of decriminalisation the year before. President Funes opposed legalisation as morally wrong, and El Salvador had not backed the Guatemalan president's proposal. Some 3,000 people were detained on drug charges in 2012, in prisons at two and a half times their capacity.[1]
