Puerto Ricans on Thursday cheered scandal-ridden Gov. Ricardo Rosselló’s announcement that he will resign shortly — but many insisted that they will continue protesting if his tapped successor takes office.

Justice Secretary Wanda Vázquez, 59, is next in line for Puerto Rico’s highest office because of a key vacancy in the US territory’s chain of succession and is expected to take office when Rosselló steps down Aug. 2.

Crowds erupted in boos when rally leaders reminded them that the embattled governor would be replaced by Vázquez — and the hashtag #WandaRenuncia (“Wanda Resign”) began trending.

“Yes, Ricky Rossello resigned, but the fight is not over. Wanda Vásquez, it’s your turn. #RickyRenunció #WandaRenuncia,” @marthalruiz tweeted.

“Wanda Vasquez will be the 2nd Female Governor of Puerto Rico, she is just as corrupt as the current governor!” Hunter Petro said in a tweet under the username @petro21805.

“Let’s all work together to clean up that Government until we get Politicians who want to serve their people not the money! #WandaRenuncia,” he added.

And @fantasfico wrote: ”Wanda Vázquez has been protecting @ricardorossello’s corruption her whole term. You’re going down. #WandaRenuncia.”

Activists planned additional protests Thursday because they view Vázquez, essentially Puerto Rico’s attorney general, as too close to Rosselló, whose administration has been marred by alleged corruption.

Zoe Alva, 32, told Reuters that she would not stop demonstrating if Vázquez becomes governor.

“I’ll try to keep on fighting, even if I just end up feeling like I’m a crazy person screaming in the street. We need to clean house entirely,” she said.

Vázquez, who has been a lightning rod for controversy, worked at Puerto Rico’s Department of Housing before spending two decades as a district attorney for the island’s Department of Justice.

In 2010, she took charge of the Puerto Rico Office for Women’s Rights, until Rosselló nominated her for justice secretary in 2016.

Even as Puerto Rico’s top women’s rights advocate, she faced a backlash from some women’s groups that said she did not do enough.

As justice secretary, she clashed with Senate President Thomas Rivera Schatz, a member of the governor’s party who had called for Vazquez’s resignation.

The widespread protests were sparked by the publication on July 13 of chat messages in which Rosselló and advisers used profane language to describe female politicians and openly gay Puerto Ricans like Ricky Martin.

Rosselló also has been hammered over his handling of 2017’s Hurricane Maria, alleged corruption in his administration and the island’s bankruptcy process.

After revelations of the governor’s text exchanges with members of his staff, some critics said Vázquez dragged her feet on subpoenaing phones of those involved in the message.

“We see her as being slow to prosecute people in her own administration,” said Puerto Rico Representative Luis Vega Ramos, a member of the opposition party.

It also was unclear if the island’s creditors, as well as the federally appointed board that manages its finances, view Vázquez as a better option than Rosselló.

A source familiar with the board’s thinking told Reuters that Vázquez — who is next in line because of the recent resignation of Secretary of State Luis Rivera Marín — would not be a “confidence-inspiring” replacement.
