The PIP survives

El Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño (PIP) quedó inscrito ayer oficialmente como partido por petición de cara a las elecciones del 2008 al firmarse la resolución a esos efectos.

The Pro Independence Party of Puerto Rico was registered today as an official party by the CEE, this after losing inscription in the past elections for not fulfilling the requirements. This is the fourth time the PIP has had to re-register themselves after a general election. But it also demonstrates the numbers of independentistas and sympathizers on the island. In only a month the PIP had over 100,000 signatures, a remarkable achievement. How could they pull that off when in the elections they could not acheive 3% of the votes? I think this reinscription proves that the Melon is alive, active and growing.
