Hurricane Fiona swept through Puerto Rico last weekend leaving millions without power. Now, residents are left to recover and rebuild once again.
“When I saw the video I was like, wow. Five years later. I was there in Puerto when Hugo hit in ‘93. It was bad for us,” Serrano said. “The wind took everything.” “It worries me because when I think of going back and I see everything and I’m like no, because they’re robbing the village money,” Velez said in Spanish. “It’s sad to see people suffer who don’t have fault but the people on top enjoying everything while the poor just suffering.”
Jessie Fuentes is an activist and co-chairs the Puerto Rican Agenda in Chicago and recently held a news conference to demand a federal investigation of LUMA, the power company. Fuentes says the operation is targeted at collecting funds while also raising questions about the colonial relationship Puerto Rico has with the United States as it remains a U.S territory.
