4:33Now PlayingWith Governor Ricardo Rosselló's resignation going into effect on Aug. 2, the people of Puerto Rico await news of his successor as Wanda Vazquez, current justice secretary, tweeted on Sunday that she "has no interest in occupying the governor’s post." Mass demonstrations are continuing in Puerto Rico with protesters demanding that Vazquez also step down in the wake of the Telegram scandal. On today's show we speak with Manuel Natal, an independent member of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico, about the precarious state of the current government as people demand more transparency in the process. "The people of Puerto Rico have become hostage of these backroom negotiations taking place," Natal says.
