During the first performance, televised via Telemundo, the interpreter attacked LUMA Energy, against Governor Pedro Pierluisi and against the government.
“You know what’s also disrespectful? The eviction of many Puerto Ricans who have to leave here in Puerto Rico is disrespectful. It’s disrespectful that Puerto Rico goes without electricity every day… And nobody tells me about it because I live here,” he explained.
He also claimed that “teachers’ salaries, policemen’s salaries are a lack of respect, that’s a lack of respect. It is disrespectful that schools remain closed year after year.”

Finally, he expressed that “they can turn off the light, but they will never turn off the brightness, they will never turn off our voice.”
