Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico

The Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico, founded in 1922, is a political organization that advocates for Puerto Rico's independence from the United States. It emerged in response to U.S. colonial rule, aiming to promote Puerto Rican identity and self-determination. The party gained prominence in the 1930s and 1940s, often through protests and activism. It is known for its radical stance, including direct actions. Although its influence has waned over the years, the party remains a symbol of the ongoing debate about Puerto Rico's political status and future, representing those who seek complete autonomy for the island.
