The new governor of the Free State Association of Puerto Rico, Pedro Rafael Pierluisi Urrutia, was sentenced in a ceremony in which he was not allowed to enter the press.
The act of jurisdiction, carried out in the Capitol of Puerto Rico, is only allowed to cover the case.
“It is with great honor and humility that we assume the responsibility of being the Governor of Puerto Rico. Juré verdediger y darlo todo por ti. Asi lo haré. Puerto Rico is yours, ”Pedro Pierluisi said in a statement.
The Dominican president, Luis Abinader, was one of the candidates invited to the act. Abinader partió hacia la isla a las 8:30 de la manana y llegó pocos minutos antes las las 9:20 de la manana.
Salió accompanied by the Minister of Administration of the Presidency, José Ignacio Paliza and the Chancellor Roberto Álvarez.
It is predicted that the mandate will sell the island of regression to the neighboring country to the media.
