Partido Revolucionario de Puerto Rico

The Partido Revolucionario de Puerto Rico (PRP) was a political party in Puerto Rico founded in 1946 that advocated for Puerto Rican independence from the United States. It sought to establish Puerto Rico as a fully sovereign nation, emphasizing national identity and self-determination. The party played a significant role in the independence movement during the mid-20th century but faced challenges due to political opposition and changing public opinions. The PRP's efforts contributed to ongoing debates about Puerto Rico's political status, which continues today, including options like statehood, independence, or enhanced commonwealth arrangements.
