New Puerto Rican Independence Movement Puerto Rican independence redbetances.com

The Hostosian National Independence Movement (, MINH) is a political organization in Puerto Rico. In 2015, Julio Muriente was its leader.

History

The MINH was formed on May 6, 2004, by a merger of the National Hostosian Congress (CNH) and the New Puerto Rican Independence Movement (NMIP). The two groups that formed the MINH were organizational descendants of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party (PSP). The organization's name and ideology are based on the tradition of Eugenio María de Hostos, a historical independence advocate. The official organ of the MINH is Red Betances and the newspaper "El Hostosiano".

It was an organizational observer of the Non-Aligned Movement.

Organization

As of 2017 Héctor Pesquera was one of its co-presidents.

The organization also reportedly has a "radical youth wing".

Recent Events

In 2015 they stated (through their spokesperson Héctor Pesquera) Puerto Rican independence protests, saying "...it’s been a long time since an event for independence was so successful."

In 2016, MINH (via Wilma Reverón) denounced the collection of DNA samples from 3 independentist militants.
