Puerto Rico's political crisis appears to deepen as the island's outgoing governor and legislators clashed over who should be the next leader of a U.S. territory unbalanced by massive protests.
Puerto Rico's political crisis appeared to deepen on Wednesday as the island's outgoing governor and legislators — including those from his own party — clashed over who should be the next leader of a U.S. territory unbalanced by massive protests.
But he's unlikely to be approved by legislators, several of whom proposed instead naming Senate President Thomas Rivera Schatz, a declared candidate for the 2020 governor's election. More than a dozen officials have resigned in the wake of the chat, including former Secretary of State Luis Rivera Marín.
Meanwhile, Rivera Schatz, whose spokeswoman said he was not granting interviews, said in a Facebook post on Wednesday that all problems have solutions and that Puerto Rico should be focused on finding them.Legislators were expected to meet on Thursday to debate Pierluisi's nomination, which must be approved by both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
