Look how defensive she gets when they asked about corruption.
She is corrupt.
"You can't stop corruption" she says it in a way to suggest "why bother?" I hope she rots in hell.
almost immediate reaction
NO NO NO NO
and then she goes on to say maybe about corruption
@@rosarivera2360 the government is corrupt and the politicians brain wash the people
Ay, these people are connected with the US, and well the US has a strong history of silencing other peoples politics 👏 🙄
The Lion Man opened a lot of our eyes to the reality of the Island. 👏🇵🇷👏🇵🇷I'm so proud of his job and dedication.
Alot friend, and his a great man
Yolanda what I gotta do to get one of those papaya smoothies 😝
@@LA-oy4on buy the papaya at the market and do your thing
And yet this guy never messed with yulin and guillito, people like him only mess with the PNP
PUERTO Rican need to WakeUp!
The fact the cop sided with him was beautiful.
Yeah I was surprised. Because in 90% people in PR across all spheres of society (police, office workers...) ARE the problem. They chose to act the wrong way. So I was in shock the police didn't harassed him, but was 'on Lions' side.
Studied criminal investigation, a professor told us , "here in Puerto Rico the future criminal spends his childhood alongside the future cop" not implying that there are only two choices, but that here, mostly everyone receives the same upbringing, they get the same values , and that we're all 1 or 2 bad choices away from going bad, we just have to keep viewing that possibility in anyone and not antagonize them by the stage they're at the moment. If we lose that reality, our correctional system will not correct anything.
Good cop there not judging, just being a neutral intermediary even tho the mayor was the one who called them in.
cops in Puerto Rico suffer the same if not more than other Puertoricans. Miserable wages, little to no equipment to do their job, and almost no money for retirement.
@@campersbull7734 really? And why they take that job when at least half of them has no intention to actually move a finger - with an excuse 'my pay is low' or 'im doing this for pension only so Im not gonna do that (meaning his duty)'. Because stuff i witnessed - what police do (or better say doesn't do) in Puerto Rico - they shouldn't get any pension and any pay if we speak of "fair reimbursement for work performed". (Basic textbook of management talks about it) .
Yes, but also dangerous.
He's more of a journalist than most professional journalists. The fact that he's been able to turn his life around after spending all his 20's in jail is commendable and not something to target him with.
Laughably true
I don't buy the politicians BS either. You do not send millions of dollars worth goods into a *TINY* island AFTER it has gone through the worst case scenario after a hurricane and not know where all that goods are sitting and wasting.
Just because he went to prison doesn't make him a liar or a bad person. You can easily see that he has changed his life for the better. The point of prison is rehabilitation and he has for sure been rehabilitated.
Prisons break people from within. The fact that he survived prison and still didn't turned against society is an achievement...
depend on the intent of what prison is created for in the country
The Government is running an unconstitutional medical monopoly, while waging a drug and economic war against it's own constituents.
Do not be deceived. The war is not against invisible enemies. Tyrants are ruling the world
Government and corporations are not God. Get out of our health and wealth
Preach brother
Prisons in Us doesn’t rehabilitate people. You survive prison, and rehabilitate from the experience of prison, then yourself.
The mayor of Ponce didn’t know the warehouse was there but she knew he took stock from the warehouse. Wow.
Paranoia? Any Latin American knows Lorenzo Delgado is right. When dealing with corruption getting killed is always an option
From Colombia I confirm that's true
💯
In puerto rico you can pay an assissin $1000 to kill anyone is as simple as that. and trust me theres plenty of killer in island.
The only difference that limits this in Puerto Rico is a little agency called the FBI. Granted, they are overworked and short staffed on the island but things can go south real fast if the local officials get caught up in their radar.
@@emartinez2740 oh you mean the same FBI in Puerto Rico that monitored inocente Puerto Rican’s/assassinated/imprisoned/abated murdered of independence activist and helped. The FBI is part of the corruption too.
Lorenzo Delgado, he’s a good example. Putting his life on the line for the truth and justice.
This dude is what humans are supposed to be like. Amen brother. Much love from New Mexico.
Puerto Ricans are the warmest people that I know. I was there a few times, sailing. I admire Mr. Lion. Thank you. Hugs from Brazil
Puerto Rican’s take care this man . This guy has balls pelotas no chingaderas . Can you imagine one guy against all these politicians wow . That’s some balls man .
Yeah bro, there a guy name Eliezer Molina he was a ex candidate year ago he have balls of steel
@@omarhonda91 Eliezer Molina is someone that Vice News should also do a profile on. The man is amazing. Right now he is leading several environmental fights against corrupt politicians, government officials and developers who are destroying many of Puerto Rico's national resources in the very beautiful and fragile coastal areas. Last week he was arrested for protesting the illegal construction of a pool on a public beach by private interest.
@Faerûnian Oh please. Stop with the lies. I'm from Puerto Rico and I follow Vice since they started with the magazines, then HBO.
Lot's of us actually follow VICE. Even in college we used to talk about each episode on HBO. Lol
call it balls but its more how capable you are. can you fly a drone, can you program an arduino, can you process audio, can you hike or drive or whatever. keep improving your capabilities and then you can. that's why there is so much invested interest in making learning confusing, hard or impossible, and keeping people occupied with meaningless things. when you see how easy it can be to help people, you know the difference from the way things are done and how they could be.
it helps to be aware that much of the resources available in society, are there to hurt you.
@Faerûnian The sellouts are usually people who want statehoods or usually they dont know the implications of it and thinks its a blessing.
“I don’t know him” but she knows his entire personal history 😂 doña embustera.
😂 😂 😂
Diablo la cacharon alli en 4k ULTRA HD jajajaja
habladora
The mayor wasn't the mayor but was the mayor... He is embarrassed to be the mayor.
@AR Prank reported
LMFAO!
He was not embarrassed of being the mayor, he was embarrassed for being caught on camera probably planning his next con. His boy in the truck got nervous and started shaking hence why he snitched on his boy when the Dude asked who was the mayor of the town. Look again, driver inside truck points at the guy outside of the truck LoL hilarious.
Long live Puerto Rico and big ups to this brother for standing up!
The 43 dislikes are from the ousted mayors and their now unemployed staff 😝
As a Puerto Rican myself i can vouch for this guy, dude is really for his country and after being a hustler when he was younger and ended up doing big time in prison but it proves you that people can change their lives around and really do something productive with it.... The government is really afraid of this guy for real !!💪🤝
Puerto Rico is a common wealth not a country!
"Oh I don't know that man"
30 seconds later
"He went to court requestting a restraining order and lost! He has been in jail!"
🤡🤯🤯🤯🤯 wow
das my uncle
🤣🤣
Puerto Rico needed this for so so so many years. Im glad someone actually stepped up and at least started cleaning up.
Mayita showing how things really go down in the island, the blame game.
"I don't know" Sweetie, you get paid to know.
Mayita did nothing for Ponce
like everywhere else. Inlcuding in New York City. Before the Mayor of New York City was blaming the NYPD. Now with the crime rates increasing, he is blaming the Federal Government and the State of New York. He refuses to take any responsibility for his own inability for his own failed policies and poor management.
Yo soy de Ponce , Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 y tengo que darle gracias a Él LEON . Ase año que no voy ami Isla pero gracias por ayudar las gente .
this man is a legend, imagine if more people in puerto rico aspired to be like him, there would be some drastic change because of that
he’s my uncle
Puerto Rico is so corrupt people would disappear.
@@Jose_TOKER_Barrios it will be corrupt but i feel communism already been here.
How can I help?
It's exactly why Puerto Rico is going to be owned by investors. It's on its way to becoming the east coast Hawaii.
Good bless u for this enormous job.We need to bring Puerto Rico back to the Top.with respect honesty unity and love the way our grandparents taught us to be.
The Lion Man has my prayers!! Live large my bro!!
Loving legend in my motherland. Not just Puerto Rico but the 🌎 needs more humans like this...especially, in positions of power and influence.
Shout-out to that cop! The most beautiful interaction between law enforcement & "offender"...💪🏾😎🤙🏾
He says is the Mayor around ? And bro behind him ratted his ass out so damn quick
🤌🤣🤣🤭
Atleast the guy was honest.
LMAO 🤣
The fact that the policeman was just as fed up as him with the corruption gives me some hope. I expected the police to immediately take the side of the mayor and arrest him.
It's beacause that was a State Trooper
Yup: state trooper, not local police
He's not local (municipal) cop, so he can speak more broadly, if he were municipal, he would have been neutral.
I figured he spent time in prison as soon as I saw that squatting photo with his friends at the start. Going to prison doesn’t mean that you cannot expose corruption and change your life.
Going to prison does exactly that: Change your life. What you do after is up to you
i thought the same thing when i saw the photo. glad he changed his life around and is helping P.R.
I caught the prison picture too, going to prison shows you the worst thing they can do to you (besides killing) and makes you not fear exposing corruption.
I did too! I was like that looks like a jail pic. But at the end of the day looks like he's doing good work to me.
Do not deny a job to anyone.
This man is a true hero! I went to Ponce 2 years ago and was shocked to see the size of the potholes on the streets. The potholes were more dramatic than the ones in NYC after a major snowstorm! The center of Ponce had turned into a ghost town. The street lights and traffic lights were not working. It was depressing. Santa Isabel was just as depressed with an abandoned center of town. I try to catch his Facebook Live every time because he calls it like he sees it. Excellent UA-cam production on El León!
This guy has balls of steel to be able to do this kind of work. I truly admire and respect him for not backing down.
6:27 This man in PR is doing just fine. Leaning up against his Lexus LC 500
Hard work pays off!!!!
...anddddd that’s why Mayita is no longer mayor. A cada lechón le llega su navidad.
God is watching
She still in politics with Ricky Rosello, she just got relocated
lol she got cooked huh
obligao XD
Eso es asi caballete👌👌👌
Wow manito found historical documents just rotting away in old trailers. Great job fighting for the people without voices. 👏👏
The purist form of Journalism that doesn't exist in the US anymore.
It does, it's just any one with actual content exposing anything ends up committing suicide before their information gets out.
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEr umm... this guy didn't commit suicide. Not everything is a conspiracy based on a novel.
@@anonymousreviewer169 You should keep your mouth shut unless you know what you're talking about.
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEr You're right, the NYT didn't spend 4 yrs reporting negatively on Donald Trump, giving whistleblowers a platform, and airing the reports of anonymous leakers while not having a single reporter murdered, I'm just misremembering.
@@patchie2144 then explain it to me, convince me that I’m mistake in my assumptions, otherwise I can only assume that you’re a russian/chinese bot
Great documentary! PR needs more people like him.
Maylita in the interview was tripping up on every single word 😂 clearly lying
😂😂😂
Truth she deserves jaillll in the federal big time
Hard to distinguish with her accent, but she sounded drunk
Lying her ass off.
He is a hero and he did pay his debt to society and you could definitely see a changed man a positive man a man doing the right thing for his people
It's documentaries like this that reminds me why I love Vice.
You shouldnt love vice. You should figure out what their reason for their money and time is.
Not just take it as fact and base your opinion on it.
Vice is propaganda.
Thats all.
Yess me too. I got the goosebumps its so good. Real journalism🙏🏽
@@krotchlickmeugh627 okay bye then. shoo shoo.
@@josiesarered great argument. I forgot. Who asked you?
lol the policeman was like "Yeah that was the goddamn mayor. Our country is falling to pieces"
"He stole credit cards and cars" nice way to try to discredit the man as if people can't change reality is he found his purpose and he's exposing y'all.
Exactly. None of that has anything to do with the corruption of governments the world over
This is why criminals should be allowed to hold office sometimes we know what's up in the world and they don't want that to happen. Who can better represent the people than the people that know how the people live what they've been through why do we have people introducing criminal Justice reform that have never been part of the criminal Justice system without being the oppressor
Island flavor whataboutisum?
Preach my man. I hate character assassination. They did the same with George Floyd.
there are two sides to every story. and the people he is exposing have stolen millions of dollars from public funds.
Keep doing what you doing.we need people like you.
is the Lion Man's channel in English? I would like to check out his contents.
I really like how the cop joined in with him to examine the containers instead of citing him and kicking him out
El leon fizcalizador its his page
He reports only in Spanish, but I am sure he appreciates the interest, as do I.
@@lifesignjohnson You can use captions. He has lives on Facebook and UA-cam.
i know right!!! maybe he subtitles his bideos
this guy is a fuckin hero. literally doing what i think about doing every day
Those Words in the end "a better puerto rico " there so powerfull!!!
I love everything you stand for, Lorenzo. Thank you.
No se como más personas no han visto este video. Ganas de llorar te dan al ver a PR tan jodido. Great Job Leon.
We need a guy like this in India,what a pure Courage and bravery.!
The farmers in Delhi?
Hed be long dead 😔
thats like saying you want someone like this in mexico, im sure someone has tried and went missing and will never been seen again
@@Harman.s.ghotra read my mind
gauri lankesh. and several others. :)
I’ve been a fan of vice for years now, didn’t thought they were gonna make a report on “el leon fizcalizador” lol
Much respect to him for his stance against corruption. His work appeared to have an effect as several of the mayors he covered lost their elections. May he continue on with his work and purpose.
Wow te felicito Enzo. Tremendo documental. Mi hija lo vio en Los Angeles , California y a las 3:00 de la mañana me llamo llorando. Se sintió tan impotente de no poder hacer algo por mi querida Islita. Ella es nacida en Massachusetts pero yo soy Puertorriqueña y le he enseñado todo lo que es nuestra cultura y valores. Y ama a mi bello Puerto Rico. Gracias mil por todo lo que has hecho y sigues haciendo por mi gente en esta hermosa Isla. DTB siempre. Te queremos mucho.
Muchos sentimos lo que sintió su hija.
He is a legend who is sacrificing his life for the community..🙏
this man is a legend. helping his country even if it cost him his life
In Argentina, we have a song...
"Manuel Santillan, El León"...
It's the tale of a man who fought for the people, the story is tragic but there is a line that stays with you...
"the crys and suffering of the people, it drawn and sinks in the sea"
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs have many fans in Puerto Rico also. That song is in my playlists. ;)
Argentina is basically a bigger corrupt Puerto Rico just because the have a big population the politicians can steal more big sadge
We love Los Fabulosos en Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
That’s a man of respect ✊🏽 🇵🇷
its illegal not to identify yourself as an employee of the government unless they feel threatened or have permission for undercover work
Not true. Its against policy. Not illegal. They break policy religiously because the union wont let them get fired
Facial recognition
My name is Edward David I am a Puerto Rican American born in New York City but both my parents are from Puerto Rico. I want to say thank you for all the work that you’re doing in Puerto Rico for bringing awareness to what is happening on the island. Unfortunately people here in the states do not understand or know what is going on in Puerto Rico. Libra Patria
Reporters: Sits down
Mayor: I had NO idea about these supplies!
Reporter: I don't...
Mayor: No idea about these supplies AT ALL
Reporter: I mean...
Mayor: Any mayor could NEVER know about these supplies!
Reporter: I have no idea-
Mayor: Those warehouses are owned by the CENTRAL government!
Gee, wonder why she is all defensive like that... Funny how the fact that a reporter wants to interview her seems to be in her eyes an attack against her. You would think if she was as innocent as she was saying she would be happy to have an opportunity to set the record straight and give her side of the story, but she was clearly annoyed with the reporter for even being there. I guess she can't accuse this one of being a criminal and paid by her opponents.
And then when Leon is interviewed about supposedly stealing he doesn't seem defensive at all, just amused they would try and tell such bad lies about him.
She is from the same Mafia of the central Governent. Is the same party and she is in. And she is a main character of the Pro Statehood Party.
Every time they said "They DIDN'T know" they said I'M NOT DOING MY JOB..... hello 👀
That's how every one keeps complaining
22:11 shes sure she didn't know him. 22:20 she knows him perfectly. Lady is BS.
That's why she lost. In Ponce, nobody believed her.
Lion man: where is the Mayor?
Mayor : Mayor is out of town bro.
The mans passion and fearlesnes are inspiring. Rock on Leon!
Ponce is my grandmother's hometown and still have family in the area. I'm glad he exposed this corrupt mayor and hopefully this will get better for everyone in PR!!!
Keep doing what your doing . Don’t feel lonely the support of your country and beyond appreciate you. Hello from Oregon, USA.💋
As a Puerto Rican, I approve of this guy. When I saw the historical documents of Maricao in various truck trailers in the video, I was surprised. Shame on the Mayor of Maricao!
Politician: I'm not here to talk about Political Issues!
LMAO!
PR needs more people like Him. Its sad whats going on in PUERTO RICO. So much potential. To many zombies Metaphorically speaking. Godbless him and the thousands of good people trying to make Puerto Rico a better and safer place to live and visit.
Purpose, direction, and determination can accomplish more than money and guns.
That's very delusional
@@openyoureyes3308 to you perhaps
@@92alpha13 he's right though, it is delusional. Your little tagline spits on the face of millions of people around the world who fought against power and lost.
@@Interests97 I would argue that his comment implies that with purpose, direction and determination, one can acquire public support, political influence, economic influence, money and (if necessary) guns. That’s why ruling parties often make it a priority to stifle voices like his before any traction is gained in a movement. Because leaders and ideologies are where it all begins.
@@secularsekai8910 if that is what he meant, then i agree.
But many revolutionary movements or activist groups try to acquire more resources precisely because of how important and central they are to fighting against power.
Pinning the results on values might sound good, but is abit unrealistic.
I truly admire and respect, very much, what Lorenzo Delgado is doing for the good people of Puerto Rico. If I were him, I would also seek out trustworthy, integrally sound, and knowledgeable attorneys that are willing to help him expose the truth to all the corruption so that we give birth to "a new Puertorican Government".
There should be a guy or woman like in every town of the world.
@Sammy Mcguinn There should be, there could be, all it takes is for each of us to raise our voices. In solidarity, we harmonize across oceans, across nations, across classes, politics, education, and all things designed tio separate us in diaspora. 🌈💐🤘🏼😘🔥💐🌈
i have a dedicated facebook for my city where folks organize trash gathering events and things like that, its actually really neat,
I'm pretty sure there are more than just one guy and woman in every town
we ALL should be this guy, we could fix EVERYTHING then....
Maybe we should all do this, expose our public servants corruption, because that's what they are servants, not kings or lords.
We need guys like him here in the States. And everywhere else, this guy has balls to taken on a government and win.
The is one of the best documentaries you guys have done this year. Good stuff!!

Bravo, Vice News. You chose the right individual for this report. Thank you from a Boricua from Ponce, vite. Y gracias al León; necesitamos miles más como él. ¡Viva Puerto Rico, puñetaaa!
I wish Samoa had someone like him. My fellow people of PR my people have been lied to by the government in the same way.
Would like to learn more about Samoa, Guam, the US Virgin Islands and other US territories. It seems so foreign, but more than likely very familiar to Puerto Rico, probably just smaller.
Yes, fellow islanders need to learn more about and from each other, and unite in our struggle. Puerto Ricans already owe Pacific Islanders a huge debt for sharing breadfruit with us. ;)
I think it's important we learn from each other because, particularly here, when we talk about being a US colony, most Puerto Ricans aren't aware of none of you guys existence. So, for most, they think that the struggle is only unique to us, when in reality, if Congress doesn't ever address our colonial status, the likelihood that it will address the rest of the US territories is low at best, never at worst.
@@darysabelp4301 I’m sure the debt is paid in full and change, we gave the Polynesian islands pineapple and plumeria flowers ❤️
Vice is top notch. Thank you for bringing another gem to the publics eyes.
Thank you Vice News from bringing Enzo's story to light. Enzo has been the source of sanity and truth for those wanting to make a real positive difference . Kudos for recognizing his work and helping spread the word of corruption in the island. There are more good people than bad but the apathy drowning the people in the island has been disabling to people's movement. Enzo, Eliezer Molina and few more groups are helping break through the apathy and corruption 👏👏
This man has paid his dues to society. For her to discredit him based on his past is disgusting. As BM I’m glad to see a brother out there doing the work and fighting for what’s right and just. The people of Puerto Rico needs to protect this man by any means necessary.
You guys didn’t touch on the earthquake and how people were left homeless Leon called them out aswell
This was a great story. Thank you Vice for introducing me to the fight inside of Lorenzo. Happy to see He's out there. Also salute the Sister #biancaGraulau for her work.
It's been a while since I finished a documentary. Good job sir Lorenzo and Vice for making this.
A mayor claiming she's not there to "talk about political issues".
Glad this dude is standing up for the people, as much i would like soemone in mexico to do this we all know what the outcome will be
So much the major of Pince know about Leon and when she started by I don know him.
Very inspirational work that is being done by him, fighting corruption and inefficiencies.
Well done
Thank you Lorenzo!! 👏👏👏🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
This happens everywhere, but because it's a small area and an island the corruption is felt more harshly
God help Puerto Rico
“12:30 That was the actual Mayor of the town, no wonder he was so salty” Great Job Lion!
Why does she walk out of her own office lol
I respect what he is doing! Keep the great work.. You guys should interview Eliezer Molina as well
Thanks for your vision... I'm a Actor in New York City for two years....I have star in Law & Order , Elementary , Shades of Blue ,and BlueBloods...But I see a lot of Discrimination against Puerto Ricans...I remember I went to a Audition in BlueBloods , and I over heard a Director saying he didn't want a Spit , it a derogatory sland for a Puerto Rican...It like calling a Afro American a NIGGER...I was flabbergasted by the attitude from the Director...When I confronted the Director , I was red dotted by the Industry I love so much...

She hates those who expose corruption.
This video is so underrated!
I refuse to leave the island and continue to let people destroy it. We need more honest people to change what has happend to us.
Who hasn't been arrested for dealing cocaine, In Florida, during the 80's? Am I right? :D
lol
I am a woman that lives in Luquillo and like him returned to PR from USA. I tried to expose corruption and was followed, beat up, and arrested multiple times. They even called my father to tell him I was molesting kids. A call that caused him a stroke and eventually killed them. The court in Fajardo has punished me more times that I can count, and I spend all my money trying to defend myself. Now I have no family, no money, and no safety. Now I stay quiet and live looking over my shoulder.
My good friend and partner in fighting the Puerto Rico corruption.
A lot of things talked in this mini documentary are “our everyday bread”. I am an undergraduate college student of psychology. And in many of our classes these topics are discussed and analyzed so I can tell you that in Puerto Rico there is a big crisis going on in different areas like collective mental-health, infrastructure of the island, corruption in the politics and poverty. This have been going on for years and its only getting worse with the actual news that the government has sold the electric company that was in charge of providing electric energy to all the island. The actual company (LUMA) that got the contract have publicly said that there is going to be daily “blackouts” plus the bill is higher than before…
