Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny lashed out against the New Progressive Party (PNP), the current ruler of the island of Puerto Rico, through a series of billboards paid for by himself.
This was evidenced by the same political organization, who filed a complaint against the company in charge of said advertisements, bMedia Group, under the accusation that said elements do not identify the person responsible for paying for them.
In response, the 30-year-old singer used his social media to confirm that he had been responsible for placing the ads, and also said: “The PNP is using its power to try to silence me.”
Bad Bunny reinforces his discontent with Puerto Rico’s politics
In these ads, and reaffirming his opposition to the party that is the favorite for the next gubernatorial elections on November 5, Bad Bunny posted the messages: “Whoever votes for the PNP does not love Puerto Rico,” “Voting for the PNP is voting for corruption,” and “Voting for the PNP is voting for LUMA,” the latter term referring to the company in charge of distributing electricity in the country.
For this reason, and in one of his ads, the singer added the phrase “Ad paid for by Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. A Puerto Rican who loves Puerto Rico.”
According to Law 222-2022, Bad Bunny’s advertisements could merit the beginning of an investigation process, which would include, in its resolution, the cessation of the billboards, the identification and disclosure of the natural or legal person who paid for said advertisements, as well as a fine for bMedia Group.
This is not the first time that the singer of “Tití Me Preguntó” has expressed his feelings regarding the situation in Puerto Rico. In recent months, and in order to encourage people to vote, he applied a series of discounts for tickets to his concerts last June in San Juan.
Similarly, and more recently, the actor went viral after giving an interview for the program El Tony Pregunta where he broke down in tears, in the middle of the show, when talking about his native country.
During his participation, the Latino model also called on people to vote, in addition to mentioning that the Puerto Rican population has the capacity to remove their leaders if they do not do their job.
In addition to all of the above, Bad Bunny revealed that the “largest protest in Puerto Rico” will take place during the general elections on November 5, in which people will demonstrate against the “people who have led the island to disaster.”
