SAN JUAN, P.R. Ricardo A. Rosselló of Puerto Rico announced on Sunday evening that he would not seek re-election in 2020, and would immediately step down as president of his political party. But Mr. Rosselló refused to resign, as tens of thousands of Puerto Ricans have demanded. “I am aware of the dissatisfaction and discomfort you have,” Mr. Rosselló said in a brief address on Facebook Live. Publication of those leaked messages last weekend touched off the protests.
