  • The Puerto Rican Nationalist Party was first organized on September 17, 1922. Its main objective is to work for Puerto Rican Independence. In 1919, the Catalonian, José Coll y Cuchí, a member of the Union Party of Puerto Rico, felt that the Party wasn't doing enough for the cause of Puerto Rico and he and some followers departed from the party and formed the Nationalist Association of Puerto Rico in San Juan. Under Coll y Cuchí's presidency, the party was able to convince the Puerto Rican Legislature Assembly to approve an act that would permit the transfer of the mortal remains of Puerto Rican patriot Ramón Emeterio Betances from Paris, France to Puerto Rico. The Legislature Assembly appointed Alfonso Lastra Charriez as the emmisary, since he had French heritage and spoke the language fluently. Betances' remains arrived in San Juan, Puerto Rico on August 5, 1920 and a funeral caravan organized by the Nationalist Association transferred the remains from the capital to the town of Cabo Rojo where his ashes were interred by his monument. During that time there were two other organizations that were pro-independence, they were the Nationalist Youth and the Independence Association. On September 17, 1922, the three political organizations joined forces and formed the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party and Coll y Cuchi was elected president and José S. Alegría vice-president. In 1924 Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos joined the party and was named vice-president. By 1930, disagreements between Coll y Cuchi and Albizu Campos as to how the party should be run, led the former and his followers to abandon the party and return to the Union Party. On May 11, 1930, Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos was elected president of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party. Under Albizu's leadership during the years of the Great Depression, the party became the largest independence movement in Puerto Rico. However after disappointing electoral outcomes and strong repression by the territorial police authorities, by mid 1930s Albizu opted against electoral participation and advocated violent revolution.
  • Il Partito Nazionalista Portoricano è un partito politico di Porto Rico fondato il 17 settembre 1922 il cui ideale di fondo mira a ottenere l'indipendenza portoricana. Nel 1919, José Coll y Cuchí, un membro dell'ex partito Unione di Porto Rico, pensò che il suo partito non stesse facendo abbastanza per la causa di Porto Rico e, assieme ad altri membri, si distaccò dal suo partito per formare la nuova Associazione Nazionalista di Porto Rico, a San Juan. Ma a quell'epoca esistevano già altre due organizzazioni per l'indipendenza: il Giovane Nazionalismo e l'Associazione Indipendentista". Fu così che il 17 settembre 1922 le tre forze politiche si coalizzarono per formare il Partito Nazionalista Portoricano e José Coll y Cuchí fu eletto presidente. Nel 1924 Pedro Albizu Campos entrò nel partito e fu eletto vice presidente per diventare presidente sei anni dopo, l'11 maggio 1930.
