President Elect Obama sent a message to Puerto Rico for the swearing in of the new, pro-statehood governor, Luis G. Fortuño.
President-elect of the United States Barack Obama reiterated that he will try to resolve the colonial case of Puerto Rico during his first term and explained that self-determination is a “basic right” of Puerto Ricans, for which reason he will undertake responsibility for seeing that Puerto Ricans have “a voice” in the solution.
Wait, a voice in the solution? Am I wrong in thinking that if self-determination is a basic right, then shouldn’t Puerto Ricans decided the solution, not just have a voice?
