Puerto Rico Protest Against Governor Rosello

A major protest is scheduled in Puerto Rico (one of the USA's 14 territories) today against Governor Ricardo #Rosello, demanding he resign after his Telegram chat messages were leaked.
The protest will take place at 5pm ET at the Governor's mansion in old San Juan.
Today's protest is set to be the LARGEST yet in a SERIES of protests against Governor Rosello, which began after messages from a private Telegram chat involving the governor were released last Thursday. In the chat, which also included government ministers and others connected to the government, Rosello used profanity and mocking language to attack a number of targets including political opponents, journalists, the entertainer Ricky Martin, an obese man he'd taken a photo with, and others. Protesters are upset not only with Rosello's chat messages, but also with government corruption and ineffectiveness under Rosello.
Puerto Rican rappers Residente and Bad Bunny have called for Puerto Rico residents to participate in today's protests, and protesters have adopted the hashtags #RickyRenuncia ("Ricky resign") and #RickyRenunciaYa
(Ricky Resign Already").
The scandal is being called #chatgate and #Rickyleaks

No matter what he said or didn't say..
I am seeing a pattern here. With the governor of P.R. on Instagram & Trump on Twitter.. this all could be headed to kill FreeSpeech & the China model of censorship conversing

(8:18) Why Puerto Rican governor's scandal jeopardizes the island's credibility
At times police were armed and used teargas
In Puerto Rico, demonstrators have gathered FOR DAYS to demand the resignation of Governor Ricardo Rossello after hundreds of misogynistic, homophobic and crude text messages he exchanged with members of his inner circle were released. Targets included political opponents and the island’s financial oversight board. #PBS


Do you see what I see.. grin
The governor, he's an ungrateful idiot ... but still.. this could set a precedent

Top aide to embattled Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello resigns amid mounting pressure -

Tens of thousands turned out to massive protests on Monday, which ended in police firing tear gas at some protesters late in the night.

The resignation of Ricardo Llerandi, Rossello's chief of staff, was announced Tuesday and will go into effect on July 31. Llerandi was one of the two government aides who survived the firings after the release of nearly 900 pages of Telegram group chats that prompted outcry

Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rosselló is poised to resign after TWO WEEKS of protests drew TENS OF THOUSANDS to the streets of San Juan, according to two of the island’s largest newspapers. His departure would plunge the BANKRUPT ISLAND deeper into political chaos as it struggles to revive a recession-scarred economy and rebuild from 2017’s devastating Hurricane Maria.

The decision, reported by El Nuevo Dia and Vocero late Tuesday, would be an abrupt about-face for an embattled governor who vowed to remain in office despite a public furor set off by the disclosure of scandalous text messages. It would complicate Puerto Rico’s fitful recovery from the storm and its ability to finish cutting CRIPPLING DEBTS in the RECORD-SETTING COLLAPSE that’s cast a shadow over the U.S. territory for the past two years. Justice Secretary Wanda Vazquez would be next in the line of succession, as there is no confirmed secretary of state.


SMFH They had the BIGGEST BANKRUPTCY IN WORLD HISTORY, BEFORE THE HURRICANE.
Let's send more taxpapers money from the REAL states!! frustrated
MSM playing it, claiming this is over Instagram and hurricane Maria, just like they try to portray that the YellowVest protests are just over gas prices, and not Marcon's registration

(2:54) "‘We’ve been strangled by US’
The governor of Puerto Rico says he'll step down early next month after weeks of mass protests over obscenity-laced text messages to his advisors. A judge has now issued search warrants for the mobile-phones of the government officials involved. And his resignation is far from the only problem for Puerto Rico as it continues to struggle with a political and economic crisis.



And now it begins.. to be the
51st state (and vote)or be independent country?
Open your wallets taxpapers and press one for English. frustrated
