A principios de 2024 destacamos tres elementos de la situación política en Puerto Rico. Primero, se acentuaba el desprestigio de los partidos Nuevo Progresista (PNP) y Popular Democrático (PPD). Segundo, en 2020 los candidatos a la gobernación del Movimiento Victoria Ciudadana (MVC) y el Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño (PIP), combinados, habían obtenido 28 % de los votos, en una elección en la que el ganador obtuvo 33%.

Puerto Rico has been a territory of the United States since the 1898 Spanish-American War. It had only US-appointed governors until 1948, and in 1952, Congress passed a joint resolution that approved its first constitution, which provided for limited autonomy. It would become a “Commonwealth,” but the island remained an unincorporated territory that lacked sovereignty and full rights afforded to US citizens, despite the fact that residents of Puerto Rico were granted citizenship in 1917.
