On Saturday, CBS News’ David Begnaud had a chance to interview Puerto Rico governor Wanda Vázquez at La Fortaleza in San Juan. All the questions came from Begnaud’s call for questions from social media. The pro-statehood Republican governor took the questions in English, answered them in Spanish and a translator was there to translate her answers. You decide for yourselves about her answers, but there is nothing really here that would refute what was reported why people are still mistrusting her words. The governor offered a clarification about federal housing funds, calling it a priority for her. Also, she said she has no plans in resigning and claims that people in the southern region impacted by the earthquakes are happy with the relief response.
Begaund posted the full interview on his Twitter profile:

Given the limited time Begnaud had, the questions he brought were important ones to ask and yes, there are so many follow-ups, but at the same time, this was a critical interview.

[…] What I learned from @wandavazquezg‘s answers is that she has none. She lacks vision. She could not refute the reports that she has been lying about things in the past. She had no clear answer about what @fdejesusfebles has brought up this morning. https://www.latinorebels.com//2020/01/25/begnaudvazquez/ … […]
I would like to speak to him anytime so I can give him my opinion on what is going on on the island, I would also would like for him to like at things that he has not had the opportunity to see and hear.
[…] Y ahora permítanme arrancar pa’l aeropuerto y alejarme por algunos diítas, antes de que David Begnaud venga de nuevo a pedirme una entrevista, porque las preguntas de él son demasiado incisivas, demasiado comprometedoras, y demasiado en […]
