EL SALVADOR: Nicaragua granted fugitive former Salvadoran President Mauricio Funes a citizenship yesterday. The move would block his extradition to El Salvador, an action that current President Nayib Bukele promised to fulfill in his first 100 days in office. Funes has been receiving asylum in Nicaragua since 2016, acknowledging in May 2019 that he has worked as a paid advisor to the Nicaraguan government.
