Description

This week the homies are joined by the mythical PR Independentist Party (PIP) San Juan city council candidate and activist Paul Figueroa to talk about the election in Puerto Rico. From election theft in Real Time in the form of hidden briefcases stuffed with ballots, to a truly hopeful future for the Independentista Left in Puerto Rico, Paul helps to analyze and make sense of internal contradictions laid bare by some of the electoral results including marginal victory for statehood in the non-binding status plebiscite while the pro-Statehood cadre lost ground to Pro-Independence (and other non-Statehood) candidates across the board. Say what you will about "moral victories", it has been a great moment for an Independent and Sovereign Puerto Rico.
