schema:articleBody	El Salvador's parliament on Wednesday approved a new term for the country's Supreme Court president, a widely-criticized appointment seen as part of President Nayib Bukele's bid to expand his grip on power. Lawmakers confirmed a new three-year term for Oscar Lopez, who was named to the post on May 1 -- the day a new Bukele-aligned parliament had its first sitting. On that day, parliament voted to dismiss all of the judges of the Constitutional Chamber -- one of four organs of the Supreme Court. They also replaced Attorney General Raul Melara. The move was criticized abroad and by El Salvador's opposition, who have denounced an "unconstitutional" attack on the principle of separation of powers. Lopez had replaced a judge whose term was to expire at the end of this month. On Wednesday, lawmakers approved a new term until the end of June 2024 for Lopez to serve as president of the Supreme Court as well as the Constitutional Court under it. Parliament also appointed five new judges to the Supreme Court until June 2030. The New Ideas party founded by Bukele gained an outright parliamentary majority with its allies in February elections. Until then, Bukele, elected in 2019 for a five-year term, had faced difficulty getting programs approved in a parliament dominated by two opposition parties -- Arena and the leftist FMLN. His detractors have long accused him of authoritarian tendencies, and observers had warned that an election landslide for New Ideas could give Bukele undue power. The 39-year-old, who often sports jeans and a leather jacket in public with a baseball cap worn backwards, has clashed repeatedly with the Supreme Court and the public prosecutor's office. At its first session, the new parliament replaced the four judges of the constitutional chamber for allegedly issuing "arbitrary" judgments, and replaced Melara over alleged ties to the right-wing Arena party. ob/rsr/mlr/st
