Thousands of protesters demonstrated in the streets of San Juan calling for the resignation of the island's governor. The protests arose in response to the leak of Telegram app messages in which Gov. Ricardo Rossello and his inner circle make light of the casualties caused by Hurricane Maria and disparage political opponents using vulgar, homophobic, and sexist language.
