He then proceeds to explain the main characteristics of the contractual agreements between the Government of Puerto Rico and its bond holders. After discussing how other nations such as Argentina, Greece Jamaica and Uruguay restructured their sovereign debt, Pietrantoni proceeds to offer alternative models that Puerto Rico\u2019s Government could use to restructure their own debt. Ultimately, he concludes that bond holders\u2019 constitutional protections are not absolute and can be subject to an analysis of the balance of the interests possessed by creditors and those of the citizens of Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Citation:<\/strong> Antonio J.
