Regrann from @nuestra_patriapr - The anger and rage this fills me with is unexplainable. This is terrorism, this is government corruption this is a war on a people! This happened yesterday in a residential neighborhood that had nothing to do with the protest yet the police made their way down their streets hoping to make arrest of “protestors”! #Repost Esto acaba de ocurrir en área residencial de Río Piedras, frente a una égida. Algunos oficiales de la Policía de Puerto Rico lanzan gases lacrimógenos siguiendo a manifestantes. #paronacionalpr #AllEyesOnPuertoRico #1mayo #DíaDeCombate #QuePaguenLosRicos #PalcarajoLaJunta #ElGritoBoricua - #regrann #PrFlagsUp #puertoricanflagsup @puertoricanflagsup

A nationwide protest is held in the island of Puerto Rico, by the people fed up with the abuse of the government; both puerto rican and US politicians. After over a decade of belonging to the US, there is not much to show for it. In the past, massacres occurred on the streets of townships, because individuals dared to speak out about the abuse they faced at the hands of the US government. Not much changed, as money flooded into the hands of corrupt political leaders and eventually, the island was drained of its finances and resources.

In the last 2 years, countless schools, hospitals and companies have closed down, as thousands leave the island in diaspora because they simply cannot make a living in their own home. The fiscal control boards, appointed by the US senate, is working on measures to get the money the island “owes” ($72 billion) because we have no right to claim bankruptcy, because we are a colony, not a state; we are property, not people. Now, the government and the board are threatening to cut over $450 million to the university of Puerto Rico (which sits in the top 300 universities in the US), shutting down branches, firing professors, reducing fields of study, raising the price of tuition, etc. Our education is hanging in the balance. Our natural lands are being threatened with demolition, in order to construct tourist attractions. But, what about the people and the natural organisms that call the island home?

Our debt is worth $72 billion, but what are our people, residents of the US, worth?

Paro Nacional PR.

Paro Nacional PR

Hoy es el dia de un paro nacional, este es el dia de los trabajadores y no se trabajara para protestar ante el gobierno y ante la Junta fiscal. La Junta fiscal fue impuesta en Puerto Rico para tratar de resolver nuestros problemas economicos de la isla con su deuda inmensa, esta los pone sobre el puesto mas alto en la isla, la elección pasada no valio nada ya que esta Junta hace que el Gobernador no tenga poder actual. La Junta fiscal tiene todo poder sobre Puerto Rico y puede violar cualquiera de nuestras leyes constitucionales, los primeros actos que han decidido limitar las universidades públicas, duplicar el precio de los créditos y limitar los recursos para las universidades que mas los necesitan. Otra de las primeras acciones fue disminuir el sueldo mínimo para los trabajadores que comienzan a trabajar (jóvenes ) de 7.50 a 4.50 dólares esto se impuso con la reforma laboral. Estos son uno de los pocos ejemplos de porque hoy en Puerto Rico hay un paro nacional. La protesta es para que el gobierno de Puerto Rico y la Junta fiscal comienzen la investigación para una auditoria a la deuda de la isla y en esta participaran los estudiantes de las Universidades de Puerto Rico, los de la Universidad el Conservatorio de musica, los de la Universidad de Artes Plasticas y los trabajadores regulares. Brinden apoyo con el hashtag #ParoNacionalPR y corran el mensaje

Today is the day for a national stop, today in celebration of workers day, we shall not work to protest agaisnt our governments and the Fiscal council that has been imposed in our island. This Fiscal council has been pit in our island to try and resolve our economical problems because of the huge debt the island has, but this puts them over all government positions, our last election meant nothing due to this our new elected governor has no actual power. The Fiscal council has all power and can easily violate any of our constitutional laws or change them at will and they can also install new laws. One of the first acts of trying to reinforce our economy is giving employers the permission of cutting the minimum wage salary for new employees that were around the age of 18 till 24, the minimum was at 7.50 dollars per hour now it is at 4.50 dollars per hour and many other benefits for workers were taken away. The second act that they have taken is to limit most of the public colleges that are actually well known in the US and have actual rankings, theyve almost tripled the credits (from 56 dollars to 157 dollars) and made it so students that attend to certain campuses impossible or even non existent opportunities to ask for student loans, certain art colleges that are not public but have a lot of historical importance have also suffered a lot of cuts which could make or break most of these artistic colleges. These are some of the few actions the Fiscal council has taken in our island. So today all of the public Universities of Puerto Rico students, students from the Conservatory of Music University, students from Plastic Arts University and our regular workers will be having a stop and a protest so they could finally reconsider and do the process of auditing our debt. Please spread the word and give support with the hashtag #ParoNacionalPR. @mariapbtapia
