People ask in El Salvador for a law against gangs

San Salvador, Apr 9 (Prensa Latina) Representative Marcela Villatoro, from the Nationalist Republican Alliance party (Arena), today demanded the creation of a special law that attacks gangs and that does not violate the constitutional rights of all Salvadorans.

Villatoro, one of the representatives of the Arena party (right), assured that through the regime that must be extended this Tuesday, for the twenty-fifth time, the rights of the entire population are lost.

“That a special law be made that brings the elements that are used in the emergency regime but respecting the constitutional rights of citizens, including tools to prevent and combat gangs,” said the deputy quoted by Diario El Mundo.

Likewise, she pointed out that it is necessary to protect citizens from abuses by bad police and military elements.

She said complete legislation is needed that guarantees the constitutional rights of citizens, as well as protection from abuse by members of the police and military in order to protect the population that has not committed crimes.

“More than two years have passed and there should already be permanent legislation and not continue with extensions,” she asserted.
