NUESTRA PONENCIA YA ESTÁ EN EL ARCHIVO DE LA ONU

JOSÉ NIEVES SEISE, Movimiento de Reunificación de Puerto Rico con España, said that from the late fifteenth century, Puerto Rico had been an integral part of Spain and all Puerto Ricans had been Spanish citizens. But with the invasion of 1898, it ended up as a colony of the United States. It was not reasonable to speak of decolonization if reunification with Spain as a natural right was ignored, he said, calling for the General Assembly at its next session to return Puerto Rick to the list of colonies. Puerto Rico was not an internal matter of the United States, but an international one, and it was time the territory returned to the bosom of its motherland, Spaiin.

Puerto Rico ha sido parte de España desde el siglo 16 y los puertorriqueños ciudadanos españoles. Pero con la invasión del 1898 terminamos como colonia de EUA. No se puede hablar de descolonización si se ignora la reunificación como un derecho natural. Pedimos que en la próxima asamblea se devuelva a Puerto Rico a la lista de colonias. Puerto Rico no es un asunto interno de los EUA, es un asunto internacional, es tiempo de que volvamos a casa.
