• https://www.zerohedge.com by Tyler Durdan

After discussing his "laundry list of accomplishments," Rossello said he 'did his best,' and 'worked during vacations, weekend and long days to make Puerto Rico more just.' His resignation will take effect August 2nd. 

Rossello's resignation comes days after thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Old San Juan, calling for his ouster.

Following the announcement, crowds broke out into celebration, exclaiming "Ricky, te botamos!" ("Ricky, we threw you out!"). 

"After the birth of my son, this is the happiest day of my life," said Puerto Rican reggaton star René Pérez Joglar, also known as Residente. Joglar released a song last week calling for protesters to take to the streets, rapping "This is coming out early so you can eat it for breakfast ... Sharpening the knives. Fury is the only political party that unites us."
