Josué Colón and Mary Carmen Zapata have aligned to cancel the LUMA contract, El Nuevo Día reported on Nov 9.[^1]

The move comes against a backdrop of friction over Puerto Rico's electrical system. El Nuevo Día reports the two public corporations, AEE and AAPP, have clashed over the grid since prior government administrations.[^2]

The facts name the two figures and their shared aim, but not the mechanics: no timeline, no formal action, no next step is given here. What the alignment produces for the LUMA contract is the thing to follow.
