1. De abogado privado en Puerto Rico a comisionado residente en Washington
2. Gobernador de Puerto Rico para el período 2009-2013

1. De abogado privado en Puerto Rico a comisionado residente en Washington

Hijo de dentista y el mayor de cuatro hermanos, recibió la formación escolar en el Colegio Marista de Guaynabo, al sur de San Juan, y la Escuela Edmund A. Walsh de Servicio Exterior (SFS) de la Universidad de Georgetown en Washington D. C., por la que recibió un Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service en 1982. A continuación, inició la carrera de Derecho en la Universidad de Virginia y en 1985 se licenció con el título de Juris Doctor.

Mientras asistió a las aulas en el continente, el joven estuvo activo en los ambientes políticos del Partido Republicano y favorables a la plena integración de Puerto Rico -desde 1952, Estado Libre Asociado (ELA), en régimen de soberanía limitada- en los Estados Unidos como un estado federado más, opción que en casa defendía el conservador Partido Nuevo Progresista (PNP). En 1980 cofundó la Puerto Rico Statehood Students Association (PRSSA), que presidió hasta 1981, y se implicó en la campaña reeleccionista del gobernador del PNP, Carlos Antonio Romero Barceló. Más tarde, adquirió práctica profesional como interno en la Administración de Asuntos Federales de Puerto Rico (PRFAA), agencia pública que representa al Gobierno puertorriqueño ante el Gobierno federal y los gobiernos estatales. Una vez instalado en Puerto Rico, contrató con el prestigioso bufete de abogados McConnell Valdés, con sede en Hato Rey.

La llegada al poder a comienzos de 1993 de la Administración progresista de Pedro Juan Rosselló González, un partidario preclaro de la incorporación a Estados Unidos, catapultó al abogado al servicio público como director ejecutivo de la Compañía de Turismo de Puerto Rico (CTPR) y presidente de la Corporación para el Desarrollo Hotelero (CDH), en lo sucesivo subsidiaria de la anterior. Al cabo de año y medio, en julio de 1994, Rosselló le puso al frente del nuevo Departamento de Desarrollo Económico y Comercio (DDEC), organismo concebido por el Gobierno para concretar las estrategias y coordinar la ejecución de los distintos aspectos de su Nuevo Modelo Económico, que apostaba por el turismo como primera industria del país, la privatización parcial del sector público, la desregulación general de la economía y la desgravación fiscal de las empresas con los objetivos de atraer inversiones y estimular los negocios. El DDEC supervisaba el trabajo de siete agencias, entre ellas la CTPR.

Fortuño no renovó como secretario del DDEC y director de la CTPR tras constituir Rosselló su segundo Gobierno en enero de 1997 y regresó a la práctica privada legal como el quinto socio de una firma de abogados de San Juan especializada en derecho mercantil. La sociedad pasó a llamarse Correa, Collazo, Herrero, Jiménez & Fortuño. Tras el anuncio por Rosselló en junio de 1999 de que no aspiraba a la segunda reelección (permitida por la Constitución) en noviembre de 2000, el nombre de Fortuño fue señalado como un precandidato en potencia del PNP. Pero el abogado no movió ficha política y su partido se decantó por la candidatura del secretario de Transportes y Obras Públicas del Gobierno, Carlos Ignacio Pesquera Morales, a la sazón nuevo presidente de los progresistas, quien luego fue derrotado en las urnas por la postulante del opositor Partido Popular Democrático (PPD, liberal y defensor de la continuidad del ELA), Sila María Calderón Serra. Por el momento, Fortuño se mostraba más activo en el Partido Republicano que en el PNP; en 2001, el capítulo puertorriqueño de la primera formación le eligió su National Committeeman.

En 2003 Fortuño, con el respaldo especial de Ed Gillespie, presidente del Comité Nacional Republicano, se decidió a buscar la nominación del PNP para el cargo de comisionado residente en la Cámara de Representantes del Congreso de Estados Unidos, el segundo mandato electoral de más peso en Puerto Rico, que se somete al voto directo de los ciudadanos compartiendo papeleta con el aspirante a gobernador, aunque se trata de candidaturas autónomas. En su caso, su compañero de fórmula era Rosselló, que en su paréntesis de cuatro años planteó el envite del tercer mandato.

Luego de imponerse en las primarias progresistas con el 61,3% de los votos al ex gobernador Romero Barceló y a los senadores Charlie Rodríguez y Miriam Ramírez de Ferrer, el abogado venció asimismo a su contrincante del PPD, el senador Roberto Prats Palerm, en la elección nacional del 2 de noviembre de 2004. Con el 48,5% de los votos, Fortuño se proclamó comisionado residente, pero en la elección a gobernador Rosselló perdió, por menos de 4.000 votos, ante Aníbal Acevedo Vilá, quien era el comisionado residente saliente. La dispar fortuna de la fórmula progresista supuso que, por primera vez desde la creación del ELA, el gobernador y el comisionado residente no serían del mismo partido.

El 3 de enero de 2005 Fortuño tomó posesión de su despacho en el Longworth House Office Building de Washington. En su ejercicio de cuatro años, el representante puertorriqueño, que podía trabajar con plenitud de derechos en las comisiones de la Cámara aunque no votar en la sesiones plenarias, obtuvo la cantidad récord de 835 millones de dólares en asignaciones legislativas para proyectos de infraestructura en la isla, según se indica en su biografía oficial. En 2007 fue corredactor de la proposición de ley Puerto Rico Democracy Act, nunca aprobada, que regulaba la celebración el último día de 2009 de un referéndum en el que los puertorriqueños podrían pronunciarse sobre si mantener el ELA o bien negociar un nuevo estatus; en caso de ganar la segunda opción, antes de dos años tendría que celebrarse un segundo referéndum que decidiría entre la estadidad (la incorporación a la Unión) y la “soberanía”, entendida esta tanto como la “plena independencia” como una “libre asociación” con Estados Unidos. Por supuesto, Fortuño prefería la opción anexionista.

2. Gobernador de Puerto Rico para el período 2009-2013
El puesto de comisionado residente era un excedente trampolín para llegar al de gobernador, y Fortuño no lo desaprovechó. El 19 de febrero de 2007, en un acto público en Puerto Rico y al socaire de unos sondeos de valoración de líderes muy favorables a su persona, el abogado destapó su aspiración para las elecciones de 2008. En mayo, presentó a Pedro Rafael Pierluisi Urrutia, antiguo compañero del colegio así como colega profesional y colega gubernamental en la primera Administración de Rosselló (y afiliado, no a los republicanos, sino a los demócratas de Estados Unidos), como su acompañante de boleta para comisionado residente.

En la primaria progresista del 9 de marzo de 2008 Fortuño disputó la nominación a su antiguo patrocinador político, Rosselló, presidente del partido desde 2003 y protagonista, siendo senador, de varias polémicas, como la imputación de haber falsificado documentos en el intento de obtener una generosa pensión del Estado y la participación en una protesta contra el “colonialismo” estadounidense en la isla. Al cabo de una dura campaña, en la que tachó a su contrincante de “cáncer” dentro del PNP por el legado de corrupción dejado por figuras políticas de su Administración, Fortuño venció con el 59% de los votos. La proclamación de la candidatura a gobernador llevó implícita la asunción de la presidencia del PNP. Tras esta nueva decepción, Rosselló anunció su retirada de la política.

La cuestión de la honestidad resultó decisiva en la campaña de las elecciones generales del 4 de noviembre de 2008, a las que Acevedo se empeñó en concurrir pese a haberle imputado la justicia federal de Estados Unidos, a raíz de una investigación del Departamento de Justicia y el FBI, un rosario de cargos criminales por presunta financiación ilegal de sus pasadas campañas electorales y otros supuestos de corrupción, fraude y abuso de poder. El titular reeleccionista hacía frente a un juicio que tendría lugar tras las elecciones y en el que se jugaba, si era declarado culpable, una condena carcelaria. Por si fuera poco, el balance gubernamental de Acevedo se presentaba sumamente oscurecido por los grandes apuros fiscales y económicos. La economía estaba sumida en una recesión muy profunda desde hacía dos años (2007 cerró con un crecimiento negativo del -1,9% del PIB y en 2008 la contracción iba a ser del -2,5%) y el déficit ahogaba al erario público, viéndose obligado el Gobierno a tomar préstamos de urgencia para pagar los salarios de los funcionarios, gravar el consumo y subir las tasas del agua y la electricidad.

Acevedo era un gobernador con la popularidad mermada y bajo sospecha de corrupto, lo que facilitaba el esfuerzo electoral de su adversario. Sin sorpresa, Fortuño le ganó con el 52,7% de los votos. La ventaja del progresista sobre el demócrata, de once puntos porcentuales (en términos absolutos, 225.000 votos), era la más abultada desde 1964. En la elección a comisionado residente, Pierluisi se impuso con guarismos muy parecidos a su oponente del PPD, Alfredo Salazar. En las legislativas, el PNP obtuvo una mayoría aplastante al hacerse con 22 de los 27 senadores y 37 de los 51 representantes, cuotas que mejoraban la ya holgada mayoría sacada en 2004. En resumidas cuentas, con Fortuño de la mano, el PNP anotaba los mejores resultados presidenciales y legislativos de su historia.

El 2 de enero de 2009 Fortuño, a los 48 años, prestó juramento como el noveno gobernador del ELA con las promesas de adoptar las medidas necesarias para atajar los problemas financieros, empezando por una drástica reducción del gasto público, sacar al país de la aguda crisis económica que comprometía su futuro y hacer más que su predecesor en la lucha contra la criminalidad común y la violencia social. En los dos primeros frentes ya contaba con el compromiso del presidente electo de Estados Unidos, el demócrata Barack Obama, de apoyar adecuadamente a la economía boricua. En efecto, Obama había manifestado que Puerto Rico sería “parte integral” del nuevo paquete de estímulo económico que su Administración planeaba aplicar y que la isla recibiría un trato equitativo en los programas federales de salud e incentivo de la creación de empleo. San Juan esperaba recibir 5. 000 millones de dólares del próximo plan de estímulo económico federal.

El 3 de marzo, en un mensaje televisado al país, Fortuño, tras reconocer que el Gobierno estaba en “bancarrota” y en “quiebra”, y recordar que en sus dos primeros meses de mandato ya había ordenado una reducción del 10% en los gastos operacionales del Gobierno y la eliminación de un 30% de los puestos de confianza, anunció su Plan de Reconstrucción y Estabilización, que se fijaba el objetivo de ahorrar anualmente 2.000 millones de dólares en los gastos corrientes del Gobierno, cantidad que representaba dos terceras partes del déficit fiscal de 3.200 millones. Semejante esfuerzo de austeridad pasaba inexcusablemente por el recorte de la nómina de funcionarios. El temor a la eliminación de hasta una décima parte de los 300.000 empleos del sector público (Fortuño mencionó textualmente la cifra de 30.000 posibles despidos) y la aprobación de las primeras disposiciones legislativas para aplicar el Plan de Reconstrucción movilizaron enérgicamente a los sindicatos, que hicieron su primera demostración de fuerza en la fiesta del Primero de Mayo.

El 9 de marzo, una vez aprobadas por las dos cámaras de la Asamblea Legislativa, el gobernador firmó y convirtió en ley tres medidas que daban vigencia al plan anticrisis: la Ley para Implantar la Ley Federal de Estímulo Económico, que designaba a la Autoridad para el Financiamiento de la Infraestructura (AFI) como la entidad encargada de canalizar los fondos adjudicados a Puerto Rico por el Plan de Estímulo Económico Federal; la Ley del Plan de Estímulo Económico Criollo (PEC), complementaria de la anterior, por la que el Gobierno inyectaba 500 millones de dólares con recursos propios para el desarrollo de proyectos de infraestructura; y la controvertida Ley Especial Declarando Estado de Emergencia Fiscal y Estableciendo Plan Integral de Estabilización Fiscal para Salvar el Crédito de Puerto Rico (LESEF, o Ley 7), que imponía toda una gama de nuevos impuestos y arbitrios más un plan de reducción de la nómina pública consistente en “renuncias voluntarias incentivadas”, reducciones de la jornada laboral y, en una segunda fase, de resultar insuficientes las anteriores medidas, “cesantías” con carácter masivo.

En junio salió adelante la Ley de Alianzas Público Privadas, destinada a favorecer la actividad empresarial generadora de empleos. Mientras las organizaciones de trabajadores se mantenían en pie de guerra contra el Gobierno y ya barajaban una huelga general, los indicadores económicos y sociales aceleraban su funesta evolución. El paro rondaba el 12% y las previsiones apuntaban a una contracción del PIB superior al 3% en 2009, tasa alarmante que hizo preguntarse a los analistas si Puerto Rico no estaría sumido, más que en una recesión coyuntural, en una depresión de tipo estructural.

El gobernador de Puerto Rico está casado con la abogada y notario Lucé Vela Gutiérrez, y es padre de trillizos, María Luisa, Guillermo, y Luis Roberto, nacidos en 1991.

Caribbean Elections Biography

Luis Guillermo Fortuño Burset
Former Governor of Puerto Rico

Luis Guillermo Fortuño Burset is a Puerto Rican politician who served as the tenth Governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,.   Fortuño was also president of the New Progressive Party or New Party of Progress (NPP) (“Partido Nuevo Progresista”) (PNP) until 2013.

Early life and education

Fortuño was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico to Luis Fortuño Moscoso, a dentist, and Shirley Joyce Burset de Mari. He is the eldest of four brothers. One of his maternal great-grandfathers was born in Marín, Pontevedra, Galicia, Spain and emigrated to Yabucoa, Puerto Rico.

Fortuño attended Colegio Marista (Marist School) in Guaynabo, graduating in 1978. He then earned a Bachelor of Science degree in diplomacy from the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. In 1985, he received his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Virginia School of Law. During this period, Fortuño was an intern at the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration in Washington, D.C.

While in college, Luis Fortuño co-founded the Puerto Rico Statehood Students Association (PRSSA) with Kenneth McClintock and presided over the organization from 1980 to 1981. During the 1980 gubernatorial election recount, PRSSA generated more than 1,500 absentee ballots at Fortuño’s direction for incumbent Governor Carlos Romero Barceló. The generated ballots were an important factor in Romero Barceló’s reelection; he won by a slim margin of approximately 3000 votes. Fortuño was also active in other pro-statehood youth organizations and in the Republican Party.

Career

In the 1990s, Fortuño served as the first Secretary of the Puerto Rico Department of Economic Development and Commerce as the Executive Director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company and as the President of Puerto Rico’s Hotel Development Corporation during the administration of Governor Pedro Rosselló.

In 2003 Fortuño won the 2004 PNP nomination for Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico in primaries against former Governor Carlos Romero Barceló, former Senate President Charlie Rodriguez and then senator Miriam Ramírez de Ferrer.   He was then elected Resident Commissioner in 2004, defeating Senator Roberto Prats.  Fortuño represented Puerto Rico from 2005 to 2009 in the United States House of Representatives, and served as Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Conference, a Member of the newly created United States House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Insular Affairs and co-chair, with Rep.  Xavier Becerra (D-CA), of the Friends of Spain Caucus.

Fortuño later won the PNP gubernatorial nomination by a wide margin after defeating former Governor and then-Senator Pedro Rosselló in the primaries.  He then won the race for Governor by a wide margin during the 2008 elections, defeating incumbent Governor Aníbal Acevedo Vilá.  Fortuño holds the distinction of being the first Republican to be elected Governor of Puerto Rico since 1969, and the second Republican governor since 1949.  He is also the first Republican representative from Puerto Rico to be elected to Congress in its history.

On 9 January 2013, Fortuño presented his resignation to the Presidency of the New Progressive Party, and accepted the party directorate’s request that he serve as Acting President until 3 February, when Pierluisi was selected to succeed Fortuño.

Fortuño and former First Lady Lucé Vela moved to Washington, DC in early 2013, where he is a partner with the Steptoe & Johnson law firm in its Corporate, Securities & Finance Group and the Government Affairs and Public Policy Group. He is also involved in Steptoe’s Latin American practice.

He is also a frequent speaker in forums related to business and conservative causes.

Honours and awards

Fortuño is the recipient of the Order of Isabel the Catholic, Grand Cross with Collar, awarded by King Juan Carlos I of Spain in 2009.

Personal life

He is married to attorney Lucé Vela-Gutierrez; they have triplets, María Luisa, Luis Roberto, and Guillermo (born 1991) who are now college students at mainland U. S. universities.

Fortuna kit

After a surprising 4-2 victory over Feyenoord, Fortuna once again disappointed their fans. In the previous round, the club, under the leadership of Sjors Ulte, went to visit Emmen and could not achieve a positive result. “Fortuna” has already suffered the sixth defeat in the current draw of the Eredivisie. The scoreboard showed a score of 1:2. With six points in the asset, Fortuna is in 17th place in the standings.

Possible base for VVV-Venlo: Kirschbaum, Janssen, Pahonik, Schäfer, Raeseler, Neudecker, Cattermole, Post, van Oyen, Wright, Yeboah.

Fortuna – VVV-Venlo: curious team statistics

VVV-Venlo lost their last four matches in the Dutch Championship;

Fortuna managed to outplay the opponent only once in the last 13 Eredivisie matches;

Fortuna have conceded 2+ goals in five of their last six league matches.

Prediction and bets for the match “Fortuna” – “VVV-Venlo”

It should be noted that in the last two matches on their arena “Fortuna” did not suffer defeat. The team led by Sjors Ulte will try to extend this series. “Fortuna” unsuccessfully performs against “VVV-Venlo” in the last head-to-head matches. VVV-Venlo intends to break a series of four defeats in a row. For the upcoming game between “Fortuna” and “VVV-Venlo” you can take the following lines.

Justin Bieber

. Others are convinced that Justin Bieber was just kissed by Mrs. Fortune. He is the darling of fate, on whom at the age of 15 it rained from fame and money. Indeed, is his story a boyish version of Cinderella or a well-deserved reward for talent and hard work? Judge for yourself, but be sure to listen to his songs and watch films with his participation in order to complete this intricate puzzle.

A short biography of Justin Bieber and many interesting facts about the singer, read on our page.

Brief biography

Justin Bieber was born on the first day of spring 1994 in Canada, in the province of Ontario. His mother, Patricia Lynn “Patti” Mallet, was barely 19 at the time. In the view of Canadians, this age is too young for conscious motherhood, later many journalists will caustically note: “Starting early is in Justin Bieber’s blood.” However, all subsequent moments prove that Patti is not only a wonderful loving mother, but also a wise and patient woman.

He moved with her to Stratford soon after she was born. The father of the future musician, Jeremy Jack Bieber, broke up with her before the birth of his son. But they still maintain the warmest relationship: they rest together, they have several identical tattoos that are filled in various parts of the world, moreover, the eldest son was present at the third wedding of the pope. To say that he did not know father’s love is a big delusion.

The future idol of millions lived in a tiny apartment in one of the most disadvantaged areas of the city. Patti was spinning like a squirrel in a wheel, working in several places at the same time.

Little Justin liked to play hockey and football and spend time at the chess table. Already at the age of 2 he could maintain a drum rhythm, and a few years later he himself mastered the art of playing the piano, guitar, drums and trumpet.

At the age of 12, the boy already sang quite well, and took 2nd place in the local song contest. Think, not even the first, but only the second, but he had Patti, and this is the main thing!

Justin’s mom decided that it was necessary to post videos of his performances on YouTube, which ultimately played a key role in the development of Bieber as a professional musician. Later, she repeatedly said that she simply wanted to acquaint relatives and friends with the success of the child, the consequences were stunning – thousands of views, likes. Even before the start of a serious career, he becomes famous thanks to YouTube and the perseverance of his mother, because she posted new performances with enviable regularity. The teenager has a memorable voice, a soulful look and an ocean of genuine charm.

In 2008, Scooter Braun, a well-known music manager, came across a recording of Justin Bieber’s performance and immediately recognized him as a great talent. Without thinking twice, he invited the boy to Atlanta to make some recordings. Patti refused for a long time, worrying about her son, but Brown’s persuasion over the phone turned out to be long, serious, weighty. Justin finally flies to Atlanta, Scooter’s natural and professional flair did not let him down.

Further events developed very rapidly: recording songs, conquering the charts (Bieber’s first track “One Time” hit the top ten tracks in Canada), the release of albums, and many performances.

A handsome, cheerful and talented singer quickly became not only a favorite of the public, but also a very wealthy person. On his 20th birthday, he takes first place in the list of the richest representatives of show business under 30 years old. In just one year, he increased his fortune by $80 million.

Canadian receives the most prestigious awards, including: Grammy, American Music Awards.

He has 4 studio albums, new compositions are constantly appearing. Spotify, an Internet service that allows its subscribers to download music and audiobooks, reported that Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran’s joint song “I Don’t Care” ranked 2nd among super hits from June 1 to August 20, 2019 in terms of the frequency of downloads.of the year.

Without exaggeration, Justin has his own records. For example, he is the first singer in history to have 7 songs from his first album on the coveted Billboard Hot 100. The video for the song “Baby” has long been the first in terms of the number of views of all videos on YouTube, it has been watched several billion times!

• The singer was painfully worried about the breakdown of his voice, it began quite late – at the age of 16. He repeatedly admitted that, to his horror, he could no longer take individual high notes.

• At 21, he visited a dental surgeon to remove all 4 wisdom teeth under general anesthesia. The operation was successful, according to the singer himself, he finally got rid of useless “growths”. Comparing the photos, it is noticeable that his childhood swelling has disappeared, expressive cheekbones have appeared.

• Justin loves to solve the Rubik’s Cube. He met this puzzle as a child, now a young man can solve a cube in just a couple of minutes.

• Madame Tussauds has Bieber wax figures. There are already 5 of them, but perhaps in the future this figure will grow.
• In an interview, the musician said that as a teenager he planned to become an architect. Therefore, if Justin had not become popular, then this would have become his main activity for life.
• Bieber collects shoes. He has one of the largest collections among all famous artists. The thing is that he does not wear the same pair twice, so you can imagine how many shoes have already gathered in his dressing room.
• The best vacation for a young star is spending time on the ocean. The guy loves to visit large reservoirs, and tries to get out to such places as often as possible.
• Usually Justin Bieber travels long distances in his own bus, not on a plane. And although flights save a lot of time, they cause discomfort to the artist. Therefore, whenever possible, he prefers to get to his destination by bus.
• The musician loves shopping malls. In every city that Justin finds himself in, he tries to find time to visit at least one such place.
• When an artist is about to go on tour, he constantly forgets about his toothbrush, therefore, on his next trip he has to buy a new one. However, this does not affect the huge, even by the standards of modern show business, income.

Of these, half are: collaborations with famous advertising campaigns, his own clothing brand, income from social networks and YouTube, emoji for Twitter and other “little things” based on his name and appearance.

The best songs of Justin Bieber

Of course, during his musical career, Justin Bieber managed to release a huge number of bright compositions that became famous all over the world. But let’s remember together the most famous and noteworthy songs.

“ One Time “. The very first song of the musician, which quickly “blew up” the world charts.

“One Time” (listen)

“ Baby “. In this song, Justin refers to his “baby”, so it became a favorite hit of many girls.

“Baby” (listen)

“ Never say never “. The title of the song translates to “Never Say Never”. This is a very inspiring composition that helps to gain motivation and survive the worst moments of life.

“Never say never” (listen)

“ Pray “. Translated as “Prayer”, in it the musician talks about his feelings about the world in which we live. A strong and deep song that everyone who wants to touch the artist’s inner world should definitely listen to.

“Pray” (listen)

“ Somebody to love “. One of those simple and “light” songs in which the star sings about love. Many fans consider it the artist’s best track.

“Somebody to love” (listen)

The idol of millions is a fan of tattoos

Today, his body is decorated with several dozen tattoos. Some say there are about 30 of them, others say – more than 40. The difficulty of counting is that they adorn almost the entire body and form a complex, intricate composition. Each new one makes both fans and haters rack their brains. The topics are very different: from biblical inscriptions to the image of a compass, which speaks of the desire to follow one’s course, to go to the intended goal.

The singer has repeatedly stressed that he appreciates classic tattoos, but rather, they are specific. The first one was stuffed at the age of 16, a seagull appeared on the thigh in 2010, and in 2011 in Israel the inscription in Hebrew “Jesus” adorned the chest. There is a creative tattoo called “Patty Mallet’s Big Eye”, a transparent hint that his mother is looking after her matured, but still reckless little son all 24 hours a day. Those who closely follow Justin’s extravagant hobby note that over time he decorates himself with more aggressive and brutal drawings. Indeed, the difference between a miniature seagull and a bear’s grin is obvious.

He does not reveal the meaning of many tattoos, one can only guess and guess.

A special gift is to be on the crest of scandals

America spoiled the charismatic and super talented boy who left Canada, this is exactly what Canadians claimed when Bieber was arrested while racing through the streets of Miami in January 2014. The singer was driving a sports car when he was offered an alcohol test, which he categorically refused. Later, he admitted that on that ill-fated day he not only drank, but also “dabbled” in soft drugs.

Naturally, this is not the first time that the idol of millions has been seen drinking alcohol, taking pills and marijuana. There were many people who justify such behavior, because not everyone at such a tender age has to face the collapse of fame and huge money, even by the standards of a successful show business.

Even at the beginning of his lightning-fast career, he showed all kinds of love and affection for animals. Many remember a charming hamster named Peck, who accompanied the young talent to numerous concerts. This touched the girls in love with the star, one of them was given a hamster. However, not having survived the unexpected separation, the animal died, yearning for the owner.
