Episode description

Luis J. Valentín Ortiz from the Centro de Periodismo Investigativo tells a hidden story  from Puerto Rico’s debt crisis, that of the micro-creditors — thousands of low-income retirees and former public employees with claims that the government may never pay, ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars. As a federal judge prepares to make a decision on whether they’ll get paid, this episode asks: how can the government settle its many debts — not just monetary — with its citizens? 

You can read more about micro-creditors in this piece from CPI.

We also recommend this Radio Ambulante episode, produced by Luis Trelles, for more context about the debt crisis.
