Ricardo Rossello: “There is an inherent inequality with the treatment of the people of Puerto Rico.”

If we continue as a colonial territory, we will always be treated unequally.

What we are asking for is whatever framework you set, let it be an equal framework.

Our fiscal plan is specifically directed to addressing that concern. We are committed to not only not having to have lay-offs, but also we don't have to reduce the time that the employees are actually working.

If Puerto Ricans would be treated equally under every one of the circumstances, we would not be having a lot of these problems.
