00:07in 2025, which could lead to a deficit in health and education sectors due to budget
00:12cuts, after voting the Legislative Certified President Nayib Bukele's idea.
00:18However, opposition parliamentary members described the initiative as inefficient due
00:23to the recent financial cuts for social programs.
00:27On the other hand, economic experts assured that an increase of 2 million dollars in teacher
