Guthrie for Congress issued the following announcement on Jan. 8
“Puerto Rico has been experiencing intense seismic activity since December 28th, 2019. On the 6th and 7th of January, the seismic activity reached a magnitude that destroyed structures, provoked landslides, and led to a power outage throughout the entire Puerto Rican archipelago.
We write this statement under the darkness that our ruling class left us in after decades of government negligence and an insistence on generating energy with fossil fuels. It is under this darkness that the ruling class issues multi-million dollar contracts to privatize our natural resources, government agencies, and essential services.
Puerto Rico has been subsumed in an economic crisis for more than a decade, and a series of climate disasters over the past three years. The government response to this crisis and disasters has been to deploy a tired and failed neoliberal logic and economic model.”
