 SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - More than 45,000 Puerto Ricans marched through the streets of the capital Friday demanding politicians resolve a budget impasse that could lead to a government shutdown next week.
Teachers, union members, students and government workers rallied in front of the legislature near the colonial section of Old San Juan.
"We're calling for them to reach an agreement, that they sign all that they need to sign so the Puerto Rican worker is not thrown out into the street and we remain without work. They must leave this game behind," said Nilda Marrero, a teacher from the San Juan suburb of Bayamon.
