Puerto Rican nationalist terrorism  

Definición

  • Puerto Rican nationalist terrorism was one of the four major domestic terrorist threats that faced the United States in the latter part of the twentieth century, along with right-wing groups, militia groups, and single-subject special interest groups (e.g., anti-abortion militants, radical environmentalists, the animal rights movement). Militant Puerto Rican nationalism dates to the 1930s, when Pedro Albizu Campos became president of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party (NPPR), a political group advocating that Puerto Rico become a free and independent republic.
