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.
