Bad Bunny, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ricky Martin are calling for the resignation of Puerto Rican Gov. Ricardo Rosselló. Here's why.
Bad Bunny, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ricky Martin are calling for the resignation of Puerto Rican Gov. Ricardo Rosselló.On Saturday, 889 pages of private chats between Rosselló and members of his staff were leaked after two of the governor’s former officials were arrested by the FBI on corruption charges.
The documents revealed that Rosselló had engaged in vulgar, sexist and homophobic conversations. In the chats Rosselló joked about the large number of deaths on the island after Hurricane Maria, called a reporter a “whore” and insulted San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, saying she must be “off her meds.”After news of the document leak, Puerto Ricans took to the streets to call for the governor’s resignation.
There is now a mass protest planned for Wednesday evening in San Juan to demand for Rosselló's resignation.“I have not committed illegal acts,”Since the revelation of Rosselló's remarks, Puerto Rican music superstar Bad Bunny expressed his discontent on Twitter and called for Rosselló to renounce, using the hashtag #RickyRenuncia.
“I will walk with my people, with my nation,” Martin said in Spanish in a video on Twitter Tuesday. “We’re going to be at the Capitol at 5 p.m. and we’re walking to La Fortaleza and we’re going to let Ricardo Rosselló know that we don’t want him in power and that we are tired. Puerto Rico has suffered enough and we can no longer make do with all these ‘leaders.’”
