Ruben Berrios Martinez, leader of the Puerto Rican Independence Party, argues that the island’s commonwealth path nudges toward statehood and urges independence. He notes rising independence sentiment and party gains since 1964, with potential gains if Congress rebuffs statehood or if commonwealth supporters push for reforms.
