Jenniffer González Colón calls LUMA's arguments politiqueros

On June 24, 2026, El Nuevo Día quotes Governor Jenniffer González Colón on LUMA Energy's counterclaim. The headline the newspaper puts is her label: the arguments are politiqueros. The dek adds that she predicts her administration will prevail in the goal of voiding the consortium's contract. The piece, at 5:44 p.m., recalls that the administration sued LUMA in December 2025. The body was truncated when it was opened; what remain are the lead, the dek, and the related notes.

Gloria Ruiz Kuilan bylines the coverage. El Nuevo Día links, on the same page, the counterclaim in the San Juan court, a piece on the proposed 2.34 cents per kilowatt-hour increase, and LUMA's defeat in the First Circuit. Those links are the outlet's, not three rulings summarized here. The 2.34 is a tariff request Primera Hora and the Negociado would treat on June 30, with another URL; it is not used to explain the counterclaim.

On June 23, Metro had reproduced LUMA's release: frivolous arguments, 4,500 million dollars in damages, 2022 extension. On June 19, La Fortaleza had celebrated the stay rejection in Boston. Jenniffer González Colón, on the 24th, answers with "politiqueros" and with a forecast of judicial victory. They are layers. They are not reconciled into a single verdict.

There is in the visible fragment no cause number, no courtroom, nor a hearing calendar. Thomas Rivera Schatz does not appear in this headline. What remain are the governor's quote, the December 2025 suit, and the subscription wall. The reader who wants the rest of the body has the El Nuevo Día URL. This is not original reporting.
