García Padilla: Los puertorriqueños no quieren ser un estado de EE.UU.
Santander (España), 26 jun (EFE).- El gobernador de Puerto Rico, Alejandro García Padilla, aseguró hoy en España que "los puertorriqueños no quieren ser un estado de EE.UU.", ya que son "una nación y no una provincia de otra".
"Queremos seguir siendo puertorriqueños, que hemos decidido de forma voluntaria tener una relación de ciudadanía y afecto con EE.UU., pero no vamos a dejar de ser puertorriqueños y latinoamericanos", insistió García.
El gobernador del Puerto Rico se expresó así en declaraciones a Efe antes de participar en el XII Encuentro Santander-América Latina, y en relación a la posibilidad de que el país sea un estado más de EE.UU.
Al respecto, García Padilla explicó que tanto EE.UU. como Puerto Rico han rechazado esa posibilidad, ya "que la solicitud de anexión volvió a perder".
"Los puertorriqueños no quieren ser un estado de EE.UU. Somos puertorriqueños, somos una nación, no provincia de otra y queremos seguir siendo puertorriqueños", reiteró.
