Puerto Rico's Political Storm Intensifies

Puerto Rico’s political storm rages on as Governor’s chief of staff Francisco Domenech faces a major corruption probe, accusing economic development head Sebastián Negrón of wrongdoing—just as the island battles power outages and investor uncertainty. Domenech, also overseeing the fiscal agency, filed sworn statements alleging conflicts of interest and corruption, citing leaked texts showing pressure to place loyalists in key roles. Negrón denies the claims, calling them politically motivated and warning that public servants risk being silenced. The governor backs Domenech, while the Senate president demands his resignation and offers immunity to confessors. With U.S. senators scrutinizing federal funds and investors caught in the crossfire, Puerto Rico’s fragile stability hangs in the balance.
