AMERICA/PUERTO RICO - Clear objectives to reduce poverty and protect democracy

 

Wisconsin Congressman Sean Duffy presented a new version of the legislation to help solve the financial crisis Puerto Rico is going through.

 

Eric LeCompte, executive director of the "Jubilee USA Network", the network of organizations and religious communities, sent Fides the following statement: "Congress should approve these laws on Puerto Rico's debt as soon as possible. There cannot be economic growth in Puerto Rico until the debt is not discussed again.

We want a legislation to protect ordinary workers. We want to protect local democracy".
