User:Veroenid/Perreo combativo

Perreo combativo, or combative perreo, is the name given by the Puerto Rican singer Tommy Torres to the public reggaetón and trap dance performed during the 2019 protests in Puerto Rico on the 24th of July. This consisted in dancing perreo in the streets of Viejo San Juan as a form of rejection towards then-governor Ricardo Roselló Nevarez, who had been elected as governor in 2016.

After two weeks of diverse demonstrations against the corrupt government of Roselló, people have attributed his resignation to this particular protest event given that his resignation message was broadcast during the perreo combativo. Additionally, due to the sexual content of the dance, the public nudity, and the prominence of queer and trans folk during the protest, a moral panic and discontent was expressed by a small portion of the Puerto Rican population. As a challenge to these detractors, the perreo combativo has been widely credited for the governor's resignation.
