Puerto Rico protests: Calls for governor to resign
Puerto Ricans furious that Ricardo Rossello says he’ll serve rest of term after messages mocking citizens leaked.
Hundreds of thousands of people in Puerto Rico are joining the biggest demonstration yet since the protests began more than a week ago.
But Puerto Ricans are angry with more than just the governor’s leaked private chat messages.
They’re now protesting decades of corruption and mismanagement, and have not been placated by Ricardo Rossello’s Facebook apology.
They want him to resign immediately.
