Nino Correa replaces Carlos Acevedo as the head of @NMEADpr, said Puerto Rico Gov. @wandavazquezg. She also asked the Secretary of the Family Department, Glorimar Andújar, and Housing Secretary, @GilEnsenat, to resign.
Gov.@wandavazquezg did not elaborate on why she is asking Housing Secretary @GilEnsenat to resign. She only said “he doesn’t have my trust.” She also said she’s not worried his ouster would delay the disbursement of Hurricane María aid through @HUDgov’s CDBD-DR program.
CONTEXT: Funds approved by Congress to help Hurricane María survivors through @HUDgov’s CDBD-DR program have been delayed for over a year. I spoke to @TheTakeaway about this on Thursday. wnycstudios.org/podcasts/takea…
MORE CONTEXT: The delayed hurricane aid was supposed to be administered by @DeptVivienda, the agency @GilEnsenat used to oversee. In Oct. 2019, top @HUDgov officials + members of Congress described 🇵🇷’s Housing Secretary as an “honorable head of housing.” nbcnews.com/news/latino/hu…
Glorimar Andújar (@SecFamiliaPR) resigns as the Secretary of @DeptoFamiliaPR and responds to Gov.@wandavazquezg’s remarks saying she “served over 8,096 families” during the earthquakes.
Former MLB and baseball star Carlos Delgado reacted saying that Gov.@wandavazquezg was essentially blaming others for her failures (over the mismanagement of supplies for hurricane survivors) instead of being a leader, take responsibility for her actions.
.@GilEnsenat resigns as @DeptVivienda’s Secretary. In his letter to Gov.@wandavazquezg he says, “I hope God will enlighten you to continue guiding Puerto Rico's future in a prudent manner and listen to the people who want the best [for the island].”
