the Puerto Rican Independence Party

The Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) is a political organization in Puerto Rico that advocates for the island's independence from the United States. Founded in 1946, the PIP seeks to promote Puerto Rican national identity and sovereignty. The party supports policies aimed at social justice, economic development, and preserving Puerto Rican culture. It stands in contrast to other political parties that favor statehood or the current territory status. The PIP plays a significant role in Puerto Rican politics, representing those who desire complete autonomy and self-determination for Puerto Rico.
