San Juan, August 23 (RHC)-- In Puerto Rico, activists disrupted a business conference in San Juan to protest laws that give new residents and some business owners complete exceptions on a large number of taxes.
The activists were also protesting against the PROMESA law, which creates a new financial control board to oversee the island’s financial affairs. During the protest, activists carried banners reading: "The People Before the Debt."
The protest in San Juan, the Puerto Rican capital, shut down the conference’s event registration for parts of the day.
