Abstract

On July 3, 1946, in the town of Barranquitas, took place one of the most important and less well known political meetings in Puerto Rico‘s history. That day, the leadership of the Popular Democratic Party, founded in 1938 mainly by independence advocates, decided to deal with the Island‘s colonial problem by temporarily establishing an autonomous regime. At that meeting, moreover, the Commissioner of Health, Antonio Fernós Isern, presented an autonomic option which so impressed Luis Muñoz Marín, the PPD president, that soon thereafter he would decide to establish that political alternative, not temporarily, but permanently. Likewise, some pro independence members of the group which for years expected the Popular Party to eventually start working for the attainment of that political ideal, finally lost all hope of this feat ever occurring and decided to establish a new political party: the Puerto Rican Independence Party.
