Puerto Rico

Las agencias federales no estaban preparadas y el gobierno de Puerto Rico estaba sin dinero para maniobrar, confirman las versiones de todos los protagonistas de la respuesta al desastre.

The new normal?

Dear friends, contrary to what the President would have you believe, Puerto Rican workers are neither lazy, nor do they want everything done for them.

Welcome to the colony.

The same day Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico, Oppenheimer Funds questioned that the government of the Island could not pay its $74.8 billion debt.

Some students have decided to leave the island, and lose their semester.

The situation is not getting any better.

Reports from the ground already bear witness to an appalling moral failing in the U.S. government’s Puerto Rico disaster response.

Here are the details of those who require payment of the debt, their groups of interest and their conflicts. Will they go ahead with their claims after the Hurricane María catastrophe?

Letters have been sent, but the government had not responded.

The Puerto Rico Police released new information on Saturday.

To transition to a more sustainable electric grid, one of the main obstacles to overcome in Puerto Rico is the enormous influence the fossil fuel industry has.

A diferencia de lo que dijo el gobernador Ricardo Rosselló, vecinos del ‘superfund site’ de Dorado obtienen el líquido en pozos no aptos para el consumo humano.

This is fire.

The Puerto Rican government, from the bottom up, has got to get its act together.

“Mr. President, fulfill your moral imperative towards the people of Puerto Rico.”

“Mr. Speaker, my constituents want the government’s help to get their families out.”

“Our response to Hurricane Maria and the people of Puerto Rico is a national and international embarrassment and tragedy.”

Academi, formerly known as Blackwater, is among the companies with offers to come to the island after Hurricane María.

We are not surprised.

This is sad to see.
