Annual Report 2020-2021

Seeking to expand La Liga's network of allies, a membership
model will be launched for communities, non-profits,
philanthropic, academic, and other entities representing the
third sector and civil society. These allies, as members of La
Liga, will have the opportunity to participate in special activities
to collaborate in development of strategies that are aligned with
the municipalist agenda, as well as spaces for discussion and
promotion of collaborations and alliances in favor of the
communities of Puerto Rico.
The importance of the Municipal Radiography published in 2020
was immediately apparent upon its dissemination. Analyses of the
financial statements of the municipalities, valuable information for
professionals and academics who care about Puerto Rico, are almost
nonexistent. Moreover, the radiography clearly quantifies the
permanent damage that municipalities have suffered and may
continue to suffer in the future due to the system imposed by the
Central Government of Puerto Rico. For this reason, La Liga is
developing a second municipal radiography entitled "Hasta donde
nos dé la sábana" in Spanish, focused on the imminent risk caused
by the continued imposition of unilateral measures by the Fiscal
Control Board, which will potentially result in at least 43
municipalities becoming insolvent in the next year or two. The
radiography will further describe and detail the implications for the
populations living in these 43 municipalities.
