The unrealistic case of independence for Puerto Rico

In this episode, we talk with a young Puerto Rican about independence for Puerto Rico. Rafael Olivera-Cintrón explains at length his reasons and thinking process that led him to strongly believe independence is the best option to decolonize the archipelago. In our conversation, we target some general ideas such as that independence is not a realistic option or that we are incapable of taking charge of our destiny as Puerto Ricans. The best part of the episode is to hear a young pro independence advocate talk about the history of Puerto Rico including the repression and prosecution of the pro independence movement. This is proof that support for an independent Puerto Rico is alive and well. Love the show? Help keep your favorite host fueled for those late-night editing sessions!
