Puerto Ricans Protest Against Energy Company Amid Mass Power Outages

Crowds of protesters marched the streets of San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Friday, October 15, to demand the expulsion of power company Luma amid a continued lack of electricity across the island.

This video, taken by Michelle Estrada Torres, shows protesters marching and waving Puerto Rican flags.

Protesters reprimanded Luma and Puerto Rico’s Electric Power Authority for their inability to address dozens of recent power outages, according to local news reports.
