Actualité - Puerto Rico: A Failed Colonial Model
Havana, Jul 5 (Prensa Latina) - Puerto Rico is suffering the worst crisis in the latest 50 years and the image the US tried to impose clashes with the peoples awareness of the need to rid it.
Hector Pesquera Sevillano, member of the Movimiento Nacional Hostosiano, celebrates in Cuba the 40th anniversary of the Puerto Rican Mission in Havana along with over 100 comrades.
He added that Washington has failed to prove that dependence and colonialism could bring progress for Caribbean and Latin American peoples when 95,000 public servants were laid off around 30 days ago.
The authorities blamed the layoffs to cash shortage but the punishment taught the people they can not live under the colonial fantasy.
Public debt is that large that most of the state budget is drained in monthly payments to debtors, shareholders and investors -around 300 million dollars, for an annual 3.5 billion dollars.
The people has become aware of the need to rid of the US colonial economic and political structure.
Pesquera Sevillano termed unexpected for the US that Filiberto Ojeda Rios' murder by FBI agents in 2005 would make him a symbol of national resistance that revived the flame of struggle and dignity.
He called Cuba's solidarity with Puerto Rico's struggle for independence a historic event that dates back the 1895 foundation of the Partido Revolucionario Cubano in New York.
Cuba started to denounce Puerto Rico's case at the UN Decolonization Committee alone but efforts along other Latin American and world comrades were crowned with two resolutions.
The independence movement now plans to submit the case to the UN General Assembly.
