![Speech by Julio Rosado about Puerto Rican Independence Movement](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Former political prisoner and grand jury resistor Julio Rosado speaks on the status issue in Puerto Rico and calls for the decolonization and self-determination of the island. Set against the changing agenda of the government of the United States towards Puerto Rico, Rosado stresses the need for a plebiscite as opposed to a referendum and explains the difference between the two processes. The incentive for the US's proposal of a referendum, he argues, is to make Puerto Rico into a market for the assembly and distribution of American goods.
Rosado traces the history of US/ Puerto Rico relations from the late nineteenth century to the present and discusses the different positions of the three main electoral parties in the island: The New Progressive Party (pro-statehood), The Independence Party, and the Popular Democratic Party. The Independence Movement of which Rosado has been part for several years asks for the removal of all the instrumentations of power (such as the armed forces and the federal courts of the United States) that have served to exercise colonial control in Puerto Rico.
