On Monday, Bernie Sanders campaigned in Puerto Rico, which holds its Democratic primary on June 5. Sanders said Puerto Rico’s $70 billion debt must be restructured in a way that doesn’t deepen its economic crisis.
Sen. Bernie Sanders: “It is unacceptable to me that vulture funds on Wall Street are demanding that Puerto Rico fire teachers, close schools, cut pensions and abolish the minimum wage, so that they can reap huge profits off the suffering and the misery of the children and the people of Puerto Rico. We cannot allow that to happen. We will not allow that to happen.”
