Who watches power in Puerto Rico
This isn't a list about me. It's a set of sources for staying informed beyond any video of mine: investigative journalism, fiscal-transparency groups, and primary government records. If you only start with two, make them CPI and the OCE.
Centro de Periodismo Investigativo (CPI)
The island's most important investigative newsroom: the team that broke the leaked chats that forced Governor Ricardo Rosselló to resign in 2019. The kind of work no social-media account can do.
Espacios Abiertos · Observatorio Fiscal
A nonprofit focused on budget transparency. Its Observatorio Fiscal tool gathers 41,000+ data points on public spending, built so anyone can hold the government to account without a middleman.
Kilómetro 0
The only organization systematically documenting and auditing police use of force in Puerto Rico: 127+ deaths recorded since 2014, with data broken down by whether victims were unarmed, minors, and by region.
Office of the Electoral Comptroller (OCE)
A primary source: every campaign committee files its income and expense reports here. Public, searchable, and yours to review.
Office of the Comptroller (OCPR)
Puerto Rico's public-fund auditor. It audits government agencies and municipalities and publishes the reports: the receipts on how public money was actually spent, entity by entity.
Office of Government Ethics (OEG)
The agency that enforces Puerto Rico's ethics law for public officials: file complaints, look up officials' financial-disclosure reports, and browse its anti-corruption education resources, guides, and the Ethos Gubernamental magazine.
Office of the Inspector General (OIG)
Anyone can report misuse of public funds or possible corruption, and the law protects whistleblowers from retaliation. Confidential line: 787-679-7979.
Accountability doesn't depend on a viral video. It depends on enough people knowing where to look.
