SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) - El Salvador's vice president criticized international financial markets on Friday after government bonds took a tumble on the disclosure of a constitutional reform plan that includes extending the president's term.

The prices of government bonds have fallen this week on investors' concerns over the draft of a reform plan publicly released by a legal team led by Vice President Felix Ulloa.
