EL SALVADOR: Army linked to death threats against judges?
President Salvador Sánchez Céren accused the four magistrates on the constitutional chamber of the supreme court of seeking to “destabilise” the army this week. Sánchez Céren’s comment marks a new low in relations between the government and the crusading constitutional chamber. It followed allegations by one of the magistrates, Rodolfo González, of army involvement in protests organised by groups linked to the government and the ruling left-wing Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN), in which death threats were directed at him and his colleagues.
