Puerto Rico Governor Urges Voice for Poor in Decisions
Puerto Rico Governor Rafael Hernandez Colón told a Yale audience that rich poor skirmishes fuel kidnappings and terrorism and that giving the poor a voice in national decisions could curb the trend. He cited Puerto Rico’s push for economic freedom and a war on unemployment as evidence of progress. Demonstrators from the Puerto Rican Socialist Party protested outside Yale’s auditorium as police escorted Hernandez in and out. The governor said unemployment remains about 12 percent due to more Puerto Ricans joining the labor force, though employment has risen in recent years.
