In summer of 2019, just two years after Hurricane Maria, Governor Ricardo Rosselló, yes, the son of Pedro Rosselló, who was governor when Benito was born, was caught in a major scandal.

His private communications were leaked to the press.

All of them from a telegram chat in which Ricardo Rosselló was talking to a group of friends, some of them in the government, others in the private sector.

People in the group were mocking Puerto Ricans who died in Hurricane Maria.

Making jokes about everyday folks in Puerto Rico, congresswomen, people in their party.

I'm salivating to shoot her.

After those chats were leaked, people took to the streets.

And that's when El Verano Boricua, the summer of 2019, really started.

People started protesting.

Every single day, protest grew and grew and grew.

Bad Bunny is in Europe on this tour.

And he decides that he's going to abandon his tour.

He does a video.

He starts encouraging people to come.

He's like, we have to get out there.

I want you to come with me.

Like, you know, he's telling people we are never going to back down.

Like, we have to get out there.

And...

In the middle of all of this, he's in touch with Residente, who has been in the protests already.
