US Territory Maga once called a ‘floating island of Garbage’, regards itself again at Spain

An American territory Maga Once mocked as a ‘floating island of waste’ is considering getting rid of America and to add Spain.

But now a movement wins with Spain to re -integrate on the island of 3.2 million people, According to the mirror.

The Adelante Reunificacionistas movement, founded in 2017, even submitted its proposal to the United Nations Decolonization Committee, 20 Minutos reports.

“Puerto Rico never wanted to separate from Spain,” said Jose Lara, president of the organization.

In fact, Spanish remained the primary language of the island in more than 100 years – spoken by more than 95 percent of the inhabitants who use it in education and companies.

Now the Adelante Reunificacionistas movement claims that about 13 percent of its inhabitants support the idea of ​​joining Spain that they see as a way to prosperity.

For example, the residents cannot vote for presidential elections and they have no voting representation in the congress.

Puerto Rico is also ridiculous by Americans, with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe Notorious a joke about the territory During a rally for the then Republican nominated Donald Trump in October.

‘I don’t know if you know this, but now there is literally a floating island of waste in the middle of the ocean. I think it is called Puerto Rico, “he said during a meeting for Trump in New York City – who has the largest number of Puerto Ricans outside the American territory.

The Trump campaign was then forced to walk back the comments, with Danielle Alvarez – a senior adviser to the campaign – and said that the ‘joke does not reflect the dirty of President Trump or the campaign’.

Senator Rick Scott from Florida also rejected the joke and said that it bombarded for a reason.

“It’s not funny and it’s not true,” wrote the Republican legislator on X. “Puerto Ricans are great people and great Americans!”
