The president of the State Elections Commission (CEE), Juan Davila Rivera, officially submitted a request to the Department of Justice of the United States to hold a plebiscite on Puerto Rico’s status.

The initiative pursues that the US Government authorizes 2.5 million dollars to fund the ‘Yes or No statehood’ consult, which is promoted by the annexationist New Progressive Party (PNP), in office.

As required by Law 51-2020, approved on May 16 by the PNP legislative majority, the president of the Puerto Rican electoral commission must negotiate the funding of the consult, for which the above-mentioned sum was allocated during the Barack Obama administration.

Although with that action the Puerto Rican annexationists want to take their voters to the polls in the elections in November, when the plebiscite will be held as well, the Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) and the Popular Democratic Party (PPD) have called to vote No.

Davila Rivera noted that the CEE will early attend to any questions or requirements regarding this process with the Department of Justice or any other pertinent federal agency.

Puerto Rico has been subjected to the US colonial rule since 1898, and although Washington granted it the status of Freely Associated State (FAS) in 1952, it acknowledged in 2016 that the island’s Government lacks sovereign powers, as it made most of the world think for more than six decades.
