[shouting] Puerto Rico is steeped in a political crisis. And there are three numbers at the core of the chaos: So what do they all mean? This number comes from this Harvard study. It’s how many people may have died after Hurricane Maria — the disaster decimated the island in 2017. The recovery process was slow, and the island’s governor, Ricardo Rosselló, came under scrutiny. President Trump repeatedly blamed and mocked his government for the situation. “And the governor — they got to spend the money wisely. They don’t know how to spend the money and they’re not spending it wisely.” And Rosselló’s response was widely viewed as meek. It took Rosselló’s government nearly a year to acknowledge that thousands of people had died in Maria’s aftermath. “I agree. And hindsight, again, is 20/20. This could have been done differently.” And people are still incensed about it. But there are other reasons for their anger. Which leads us to the next number: 15.5 million. But before we get there, some background. Puerto Rico has been in a recession for more than a decade. Rosselló’s government has been enforcing austerity measures to chip away at Puerto Rico’s billions of dollars in debt. But while high-ranking officials were closing hundreds of public schools, they were also funneling taxpayer money into private pockets. Rosselló’s government has been bogged by corruption scandals. Just last week, the former education secretary and the former executive director of the Puerto Rico Health Insurance Administration were arrested. The charges: unlawfully steering $15.5 million in federal contracts to politically connected consultants. Investigators found that government officials and employees used personal email and encrypted chats on the messaging app Telegram to conduct government business. That leads us to our last number: 889 — it’s the number of pages of private Telegram messages between Rosselló and some of his cabinet members and top aides that were recently leaked. In the messages, the governor and his colleagues mocked friends and foes, often using misogynist and crude language. For many Puerto Ricans, this was the last straw. Celebrities from the island, such as the singer Ricky Martin and the rapper Bad Bunny, are also demanding political change. But Rosselló refuses to step down. After thousands of deaths, millions of dollars misused and hundreds of pages of messages, adding insult to injury, protesters are not backing down.
