El Salvador does normal foreign agents registration, libs melt down
-
Story in 3 parts.
- El Salvador foreign agents law - key bit.
the [new] law mandates that any person or organization receiving funds from abroad register with the Ministry of Interior as a foreign agent. Those designated must pay a 30% tax on all foreign income and submit to extensive oversight, including sworn declarations. Violations of the law carry fines ranging from US$1,000 to US$150,000.
Mere disclosure. For violators, mere fines & taxes.
Reasonable.
I'm big on Free Speech, but, Free Speech to benefit local citizens. Not foreign powers.
If El Salvador feels that CCP, CIA, EU & Soros can still run influence ops in El Salvador, except disclose them please.... ok.

[hey, ] EU: El Salvador regrets that a bloc which is aging, overregulated, energy-dependent, tech-lagging, and led by unelected bureaucrats still insists on lecturing the rest of the world.
