(aqui esta el articulo en español de CPIPR)

(link to english articule from washington post)

[image ID: the first image is a picture of a road on one of puerto ricos forrested mountains with the headline "Más personas muerten en Puerto Rico mientras el sistema de salud se desmorona." The subheading reading "Pese a las vacunas y a la disponibilidad de medicamentos para el COVID-19, en 2022 murieron 35,400 personas en el Isla, la mayor cifra de los últimos 20 años."

the second image is an overhead shot of various graves located in Puerto Rico, with the headline reading "More people are dying in Puerto Rico as its healthcare system crumbles." The subheading reads "Islanders died of chronic conditions and COVID-19 in 2022 at numbers that surpassed even Hurricane Maria's toll." : end ID]

Excerpt from The Washington Post Article:

AGUAS BUENAS, Puerto Rico — In a purple house along a narrow road in Puerto Rico’s Central Mountain Range, Margarita Gómez Falcón’s breathing suddenly grew labored one March evening. She called an ambulance and began a grim two-hour wait for paramedics to arrive.

Health services across this self-governing island have been deteriorating for years, contributing to a surge in deaths that reached historic proportions in 2022, an investigation by The Washington Post and Puerto Rico’s Center for Investigative Journalism has found.

[....]

The case of Gómez Falcón, 67, underscores the many ways a faltering medical system has contributed to elevated death rates.

[...]

Aguas Buenas, a small, working-class town in the central highlands, had one working ambulance for its 25,000 people when Gómez Falcón called for help, so dispatchers sent a private one that had trouble finding her home in the town’s winding back roads.

[...]

Puerto Rico, with a population of 3.3 million people, experienced more than 35,400 deaths last year. That’s nearly 3,300 more than researchers would ordinarily expect based on historic patterns, according to a statistical analysis by The Post and Puerto Rico’s Center for Investigative Journalism (CPI).

This “excess mortality” — a term scientists use to describe unusually high death counts from natural disasters, disease outbreaks or other factors — resulted in part from a covid spike early last year that killed more than 2,300 people, health data shows.

[...]

The recent jump in mortality is the latest warning sign that years of natural disasters and financial crises have taken a deadly toll.

[...]

“It’s been nearly six years since Maria, and nothing has been resolved,” said Nereida Meléndez‚ a community activist in Aguas Buenas. “Here there are bridges that no one has done anything for. There are damaged highways no one has done anything to fix. Here one says, ‘What about that money they sent us? Where is it? What are they doing with it?’”

[...]

Puerto Rico’s public health system was once the envy of the Caribbean. Then-Gov. Pedro Rosselló privatized it in the 1990s, in what became known as “La Reforma.” Most government-owned hospitals were sold in an effort to control costs and streamline operations. But the opposite took place: By 2006, Puerto Rico’s economy tanked and public debt ballooned[.]

Puerto Rico's healthcare system is crumbling (alongside many other public utilities - one notable such example is the powergrid, as many of you have probably heard about recently due to the massive wave of protests against LUMA the current private company in charge of maintaining it) due to lack of resources and support. This is a crisis that has been building for decades due to many factors, such as the installment of an unelected board of overseers who have control of the puerto rican economy due to the enactment of. PROMESA in 2016, the enactment of ACT 60, a bill that incentivizes wealthy mainland U.S. citizens to move to Puerto Rico due to the increased tax breaks they will recieve that include a 100% tax exemption from Puerto Rico income taxes on: dividends, interest, short-term and long-term capital gains, and an exemption from the local and state property taxes equal to 75%, the withholding of emercency aid and support after natural disasters (the most notable example being the absolutely horrendus response to Hurricane Maria, that ended with the then Governor, Ricky Rosselló, resigning from his position after his sexist, racist, and homophic Telegram messages that included disparaging remarks about the victims of Hurricane Maria were leaked.)

This also includes the contiuned privitization of all aspects of puerto rican life, including the attempt to privatize the public beaches, lakes, canals, and parks in 2020, and the attempt to privatize the Taíno Caguana Ceremonial Indigenous Heritage Center in April 2023, though these are only two of many many many examples.

“Rolling Stone” destaca a artistas puertorriqueñas en una entrevista histórica

La revista destacó que es una pieza histórica y la primera vez que le dedican tantas páginas a mujeres de la música de reggaetón y urbana

La popular revista musical Rolling Stone publicó hoy una entrevista destacando a cinco artistas puertorriqueñas quienes están revolucionando el género urbano: Chesca, PaoPao, RaiNao, Villano Antillano y Young Miko.

Estas cinco mujeres del género urbano, quienes ya suenan en países internacionales, son tendencias en las redes y han creado un movimiento de mujeres poderosas.

Su denominador común es su estilo individual, presencia escénica, su empoderamiento y han colaborado unas con las otras como el tema más reciente “Dale Play” entre RaiNao y PaoPao.

La revista destacó que es una pieza histórica y es la primera vez que le dedican tantas páginas a mujeres de la música de reggaetón y urbana.

En diciembre 2022, las cinco artistas puertorriqueñas se reunieron en el Taller Comunidad La Goyco, en la calle Loíza, en Santurce, donde se llevó a cabo la sesión de fotográfica en un mismo día.

Since 2018, women and LGBTQ folx in Puerto Rico have been powering a scene that’s been virtually unheard of in the male-dominated world of reggaeton and urbano. A new generation of artists — including @villanoantillano, @rainaopr, @paopao, @chesca, and @itsyoungmiko — are breaking barriers and demanding to be heard. Hit the link in our bio to read more.
