Photos: Days of Protest in Puerto Rico (23 photos)

For ten days now, hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico to demand the resignation of Governor Ricardo Rossello. The calls for Rossello to step down come after the leak of a group chat between Rossello and his aides and Cabinet members, in which offensive, misogynistic, and homophobic comments were made. This follows ongoing public dissatisfaction with Puerto Rico’s government amid corruption scandals and continued problems related to recovery efforts following Hurricane Maria.
