JORGE VIERA, REPORTER, UNIVISION: They [protesters] demand that if Congress decides to help the island get out of its crisis, it can’t impose a fiscal oversight board.

PROTESTERS: [Chanting] This struggle will continue, at all costs!

JORGE VIERA, REPORTER, UNIVISION: What are you demanding?

FRANCISCO REYES MARQUEZ, PRESIDENT, PUERTO RICO STATE INSURANCE FUND (CFSE) UNION: Well, we’re demanding here that the financial oversight board is not imposed on the people of Puerto Rico because we understand that the results of it are disastrous for workers, and the people of Puerto Rico in general.
