The New Puerto Rican Independence Movement (Spanish: Nuevo Movimiento Independentista Puertorriqueño, NMIP) was a left-wing pro-independence organization in Puerto Rico. Founded in 1993 by former members of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party, one of its primary leaders was Carlos Gallisá. In 2004, the NMIP merged with the National Hostosian Congress to form the Hostosian National Independence Movement (MINH).
Famous quotes containing the words independence and/or movement:
“Hail, Columbia! happy land!
Hail, ye heroes! heaven-born band!
Who fought and bled in Freedom’s cause,
Who fought and bled in Freedom’s cause,
And when the storm of war was gone,
Enjoyed the peace your valor won.
Let independence be our boast,
Ever mindful what it cost;”
—Joseph Hopkinson (1770–1842)
“A movement is only composed of people moving. To feel its warmth and motion around us is the end as well as the means.”
