Former Incentives Director's Questionable Statements

Ernesto Zayas García, the former director of the Office of Business Incentives at the Department of Economic Development and Commerce (DDEC), issued a press release to local media in response to the sworn complaint filed by Secretary of the Interior Francisco Domenech against former DDEC Secretary Sebastián Negrón Reichard. In the brief statement, Zayas García made questionable expressions. The complaint and the response are part of an ongoing situation involving the DDEC and its former officials. The press release was sent to local media outlets, and the situation is being closely followed. The DDEC is a government agency responsible for promoting economic development in Puerto Rico. The complaint filed by Domenech against Negrón Reichard is a significant development in the case, and Zayas García’s response has drawn attention due to its content. The situation involves high-ranking government officials and has implications for the island’s economic development policies.
