A group of artists have altered a famous door painted with the Puerto Rican flag by changing its original colors from blue, red, and white to black and white to mark the approval of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act, also known as PROMESA, an acronym considered an insult, as it translates to “promise”. Passed by the US Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama after denying the island a bankruptcy arrangement, the act was promoted as a way to manage Puerto Rico’s more than $70 billion of debt. But PROMESA severely undermines the island’s political autonomy. Its measures, which include a decrease of the hourly minimum wage to US $4.24 (about $3 less than the US federal minimum wage), have galvanized people to organize daily civil disobedience events and camps. Excerpted from Global Voices; learn more here.
