BONUS: A Crushing Blow to Puerto Rico: A New Debt Restructuring Plan

Feb 1

For this bonus episode, we’re sharing a Facebook Live panel discussion from our friends at Power 4 Puerto Rico. The topic of discussion is Puerto Rico’s recently approved debt restructuring plan that the US colonial board - La Junta - imposed on Puerto Rico. We talked about the new debt restructuring plan and its faults in our last episode and took a deeper dive on our Instagram page - @paseopodcast - as to why this new plan could lead to devastating effects down the road for la Isla.

But what we’re sharing today will provide a more in-depth unpacking of the details of the plan. The panelists you’ll hear from in this episode include:

Natalia Renta, Senior Policy Strategist for the Center for Popular Democracy
Eva Prados of Frente Ciudadano para la Auditoria de la Deuda
Daniel Santamaria Ots, Senior Policy Analyst for Espacios Abiertos
The panel will be moderated by former Paseo Podcast guest and Director of Power 4 Puerto Rico, Erica Gonzalez.
