The first step is to revive economic growth... No, the first step is about getting the money to buy enough votes so you can win next time.

Garcia Padilla proposed creating a committee that would work together to create reforms to the country, but he said “sacrifices should be shared,” adding that he welcomed “creditors who want to cooperate.”Which country is the reporter referring to? PR is a US territory, the country is United States.
