Movimiento Victoria Ciudadana (MVC) (Template:Lang-en) is a Puerto Rican political party founded in 2019. It is running in the 2020 General Elections on an anti-colonialism platform, proposing a constitutional assembly to determine a final decision regarding the relationship between the United States and Puerto Rico.
History
It was founded on March 11, 2019, by a group of veteran politicians and others with the goal of fighting corruption and restoring Puerto Rico's governmental institutions; promoting social, economic, and fiscal reconstruction; and decolonization of Puerto Rico.[2] MVC also calls for a constitutional assembly to choose a decolonization plan that results in statehood, full independence, or a free association status with the United States.[3] In economic terms, the party's platform known as the "Urgent Agenda" emphasises strengthening labor rights and opposing privatization.[1] The 2019 Telegramgate scandal that engulfed the ruling New Progressive Party helped sharpen the focus of the MVC on government reform.[4]
