BURUNDANGA BORICUA DEL ZOCOTROCO 11.07.25 PANORAMA DE LO REPRENSIBLE

November 7, 2025 by wpengine

Burundanga de Zocotroco

José M. Umpierre

El panorama presente en pocas palabras

En el archipiélago Borinqueño, de los 3.2 millones de residentes, 1.2 millones comen gracias a la asistencia del PAN.

No es difícil adoptar una visión de vida en que nos movemos de crisis en crisis, de problemas y desafíos contantes que requieren ajuste y adaptación. El cierrre del gobierno federal en virtud de tranque partidista en el Congreso Norteamericano se ajusta a esa noción, con el agravante de que  amenaza con consecuencias graves en una necesidad  básica.

En el archipiélago Borinqueño, de los 3.2 millones de residentes, 1.2 millones comen gracias a la asistencia del PAN,  el 39% de los residentes en la Isla. Según datos del Departamento de la Familia, 434,311 son adultos mayores sumidos en un a pobreza abyecta; 260,347 son menores; 69,680 son adultos con diversidad funcional; 2,833 son personas sin hogar; 252,470 tienen empleo y usan el PAN como suplemento de sus ingresos. En otras palabras: los mas vulnerables.

En San Juan, cerca de 100,000 reciben PAN,  más que el total de beneficiarios en Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Dakota del Sur, Vermont y Nuevo Hamsphire. En  Nuevo México, el 19% depende de ayuda alimentaria; Puerto Rico lo duplica. Eso es más del triple del promedio nacional estadounidense, que es de 12%, con varios municipios en que la población dependiente de beneficencia supera el 50%.

Tras 127 años de dominación estadounidense y 73 de autonomía, una porción inmensa de nuestra población continúa sin poder valerse por sí misma y necesita asistencia gubernamental para subsistir. No es necesario elaborar, al buen entendedor pocas palabras bastan.
