Política de Puerto Rico

The "Política de Puerto Rico" refers to the political status and governance of Puerto Rico, an island in the Caribbean. It concerns whether Puerto Rico remains a U.S. territory, becomes an independent country, or seeks a different arrangement like statehood. The island has its own local government and elected leaders, but ultimate sovereignty rests with the U.S. Congress. Throughout history, Puerto Rico's residents have debated and voted on their preferred political status, with options including current territorial status, statehood, or independence. This ongoing process aims to define Puerto Rico’s political relationship with the United States and its own future self-governance.
