Puerto Rican protestors carried a “symbolic†guillotine to the American territory’s governor’s mansion on Thursday to protest leaders’ handling of disaster relief supplies.
As earthquakes continue to rock the island leaving thousands without power, Puerto Ricans are still suffering the effects from Hurricanes Irma and Maria. Late last week, residents of the city of Ponce discovered “a warehouse filled with water, cots and other unused emergency supplies,†NBC News reported. The unused supplies had been there since 2017.
Although Governor Wanda Vázquez fired several officials with oversight, including the U.S. territory’s housing secretary and Office of Emergency Management director, it wasn’t enough to stop massive protests Thursday, including one in which several protesters carried a guillotine to the governor’s mansion.
