Senator: the governor is seeking a replacement for the AAA president

On September 4, 2026, El Vocero reports that Sen. Héctor Joaquín Sánchez Álvarez (PNP, Carolina District) said on Pega’os (Radio Isla) that Governor Jenniffer González Colón is interviewing candidates to replace AAA chief executive Luis González Delgado, who — according to the senator — could leave the post “at any moment.” “The governor is looking for candidates. She has knocked on doors and has interviewed several people,” he said. Sánchez said that among names that have surfaced, former AAA chief Elí Díaz Atienza indicated he could not return, and that José Ortiz — formerly of AAA and PREPA — would also not be available. A search for a replacement is not a removal announced by Fortaleza in this piece.

Rep. Víctor Parés Otero, on the same broadcast, confirmed they are looking for someone to take the helm and said the AAA situation “is going to require a management change,” even while acknowledging drought and supply failures: “management has not been the most correct.” The revelation comes amid growing scrutiny of González Delgado’s handling of potable-water outages. On September 1, Administration vice president Karim Del Valle Gregory and Strategic Planning vice president Moisés Lugo Molina resigned “for personal and professional reasons” after about a year in those posts, according to González Delgado.

What remains is the candidate interviews Sánchez describes, Parés calling for a management change, Díaz Atienza and Ortiz out of the pool per the senator, the two September 1 resignations, and a no to inventing a formal dismissal this coverage does not print.
