Conditions in Puerto Rico and the US oppression of the Puerto Rican people
Jose Lopez of the New Movement Conference speaks about the movement in Puerto Rico within the world context. He talks about how most people do not recognize the importance to Puerto Rico’s movement and the struggle its people have been going through. He speaks about against the United States and Europe’s imperialist acts on the rest of the world, and speaks about against the myth of superiority of capitalism. He speaks about the poor conditions most Puerto Ricans live in, and how Puerto Rico consumes what it does not produce, and produces what it does not consume. Lastly, he asks what the political plans of the US are for PR? He asserts that the United States wants to see Puerto Rico tied to them economically as to disallow them complete independence, while not allowing them statehood rights either.
