El Salvador President Orders Arrest of Bus Company Leaders
Transport operators defied government’s free fare directive
President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador has instructed police to arrest five bus company executives after they reportedly ignored a government mandate to provide free public transportation.
The directive, issued via social media, was part of the administration’s public service campaign but has drawn legal questions over executive authority and due process.
