Dr. Morgan Alejandro Cordero, president of the Bayamón municipal committee of the Partido Popular Democrático (PPD), questioned Bayamón Mayor Ramón Luis Rivera Cruz about his political relationship with the Partido Nuevo Progresista (PNP) and Governor Jenniffer González Colón. Cordero’s statements came after Rivera Cruz attempted to distance himself from the governor during a press conference.
Cordero criticized Rivera Cruz for trying to take distance from the governor, saying he cannot do so after being part of the problem. He also questioned Rivera Cruz’s role within the PNP and his relationship with past governors, calling him 'the godfather of the last three governors.' Cordero asked who Rivera Cruz would support in a potential internal party dispute, mentioning Thomas Rivera Schatz and Miguel Romero.
Additionally, Cordero referenced Rivera Cruz’s statement that his priority is Bayamón, saying the municipality needs its mayor to attend to local issues and respond to the conditions of public facilities, such as the closed Dajaos recreational facilities and the Parque Robert Junghans.
