Puerto Rico x Puerto Rico

No, Puerto Rico is not collabing with Puerto Rico. The "x" means "por" or "for" in English.

In other words Puerto Rico for Puerto Rico.

This is a recent demonstration that took place in Puerto Rico to protest against the current administration’s actions to further privatize the island. The current governor Luis Fortuno-who is a member of the Puerto Rico’s statehood party (PNP), so he gets no “ñ” in his spelling-has recently made further measures to further deepen the island’s dependency on the outside.

Puerto Rico is a 500+ year old colony. Its current “commonwealth” status is merely disguised colonialism-which is both outdated and immoral. The most obvious example of this is seen in the decaying economic system which was not designed to benefit Puerto Rico’s reality-but rather a foreign nation’s needs. The thousands of layoffs and lack of employment opportunities are a direct result of this.

I theorize that the goal of Fortuno, and the rest of the statehood party, is to completely strangle Puerto Rico until it begs to become a state-which has never ever been offered as an option to Puerto Rico by the United States by the way.


Sorry, but this will never happen…

Below is a video of the protest, in it you will see René Pérez from Calle 13. In attendance also was his fiancé Denise Quiñones (Miss Univerese 2001)-she was born in Lares, so I always felt she was down! The video is in Spanish, so I appologize if you are not pani peekin’
