In this episode, we discuss the ways some historical situations have shifted Puerto Rican politics and the support for Independence. Supporting independence in Puerto Rico implied political persecution, unemployment and discrimination.

We talked about this issue with Adrian Gonzalez who is currently running for senator for the Puerto Rican Independence Party and the Alliance (La Alianza).
