Fact Check
The evidence provided strongly and consistently supports the statement. The most authoritative source is the official website of the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador, the government body responsible for passing laws. Its inclusion confirms the official channel through which such a law would be created and documented. The secondary sources from the news outlet Infobae directly reference a "Bitcoin Law," reporting on actions taken under this law and even modifications made to it. One cannot take action under or modify a law that does not exist. The tertiary and low-authority sources, while less credible on their own, are consistent with the other evidence, referencing the existence of the law. There are no contradictions among any of the provided sources. The collective evidence from official, journalistic, and informational sources all points to the fact that El Salvador's government did indeed pass this law.
