Puerto Rican police officer exposes the truth about corrupt San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin.

Here's a video featuring audio of a police officer from Puerto Rico who called La Mega radio station in New York to report on what she has witnessed in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.



The video is subtitled, but here's the transcript:

Puerto Rican police officer: "I need to pass this information out because the stuff that is being brought from the U.S., it is not being distributed. They are not allowing the Puerto Rican people to receive the donations."

Radio presenter B1: "What part of Puerto Rico are you calling us from exactly?"

"Carmen Yulin is not allowing anyone to distribute."

Caller: "I am right now in Guaynabo"

Radio presenter B2: "Wow!"

Radio presenter B3: "But what affirmation do you have? What have you seen?"

Caller: "The mayor, Carmen Yulin, is not allowing anyone to distribute... We need... What us Puerto Ricans need is that that U.S. armed forces to come in and distribute the aid. And that they stop the Governor Rosello and the Mayor Yulin from continue on doing what they are doing."

"It's an abuse. It looks like communism in our own island. (Sobbing, inaudible due to cries.) People are helping us, but they are not accepting it. They are not accepting anymore help because supposedly 'they have to wait for the license, that there are no buses.'"

"Let me tell you something, Boricuas (another name for Puerto Ricans) are dying of hunger. (Crying continues.) This is a bureaucracy. Everything has to be a protocol. The lines are outstretched. We can only give one box of water per person. (Sobbing continues.) The medics here, people are dying, the hospitals are in crisis. I am embarrassed as Boricua to work for Puerto Rico's police and see that we cannot do anything."

"Everything is a show."

"There are dozens and thousands and thousands of food and when people ask we cannot give anything away because Carmen Yulin says that we cannot take anything out, because everything is a soap opera. Everything is a show. There have to be cameras here and there."

"Because you know, they are just looking for votes for the upcoming years. And the governor won't move unless there's a camera behind him. Carmen Yulin won't move unless there's a camera behind her."

"This is how we are living in Puerto Rico. In the mean time artists are giving money and the people of Florida are sending stuff, and I don't now how many more people are helping because we have very limited communication, very limited and we have no idea what is going on outside."

"And the people that are sending stuff, they have to come in. They have to come to help Puerto Rico and distribute what is being wasted, because what else are we going to do? You tell me, what are we going to do?"

B2: "Of course, the desperation."

B1: "We are with our hearts broken listening to you describing this situation which is heartbreaking when we know that so many people are helping. This is a police officer speaking."

Caller: "I've been for one hour trying to download an application, because the phones that they give to us, I cannot use them as a police officer due to security measures. But I need to speak for the people, because the people are suffering. Because I, as a cop, along with other police partner, we are seeing it. A lot of people have been posting videos (Sobbing, inaudible) and no-one is paying attention."

B3: "We are truly sorry for this situation. We didn't know that."

Caller: "If Cuba, Venezuela want to help, and we are grateful for that ,and that the government denies their help, the government denies Cuba's help, that they reject Venezuela's help. Look for God's sake! Tell me, how is that possible? We need help!"

B3: "We are going to send this message out so that it gets to where it needs to get to."

Caller: "We want the U.S. forces to come in, that the strongest forces come in and take the governor out. He is not doing anything. He is just going around and around, and everyone is like, "Oh, how nice. The governor, he is going into the mud, he is going into the water." And where is it? Pardon the expression, where is the food? Look, grab the food. Just grand the sausage can and the water and take it to the families."

"Carmen Yulin won't move unless there's a camera behind her."

"The governor is just doing a show, is all a show. There are any mayors that are suffering because they cannot do anything for their people."

B2: "So what are they doing with the food? Is it being kept in storage because they are not allowing to give it out?"

Caller: "They are not doing anything, and they keep telling the ports that they cannot bring stuff anymore. If the U.S. government doesn't get involved they will finish us. We are going to end up worse, worse than Cuba, Africa, or worse than Haiti. We are living in an era that you don't want to see. People are desperate. The gasoline, people are already killing each other. Not to rob you. They are doing it so they can be the firsts to get food and take it to their families."

"Do you know what is is when a young woman approaches me and tells me, "I don't have anymore. I don't know what else to give to my kids because I don't have anymore. Water and crackers."

B1: "Thank you for calling us and using this medium to denounce this situation. And good thing that it was you that explained so that people don't think that we are making up stuff, because this has nothing to do with politics. It is a very serious situation."

Caller: "Very serious. (Sobbing continues.)"

The U.S. has been doing its part. It is the local government that has been ordered by San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin  to sit on their hands and not do their jobs. This explains why shipping containers full of supplies were left untouched for days at the port, and why the San Juan Mayor has refused to meet with FEMA. The San Juan Mayor has politicized the disaster for political/personal gain. The aid is there, but Carmen Yulin is not allowing it to be distributed. According to the caller, everything the San Juan Mayor does is for the cameras.

Why is the mainstream media not reporting this? Why is the mainstream media not reporting on the corruption of San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin? Why is the mainstream media letting the Puerto Rican people suffer in silence?
