And the independence party in Puerto Rico has been so attacked and suppressed for so long, not only by the United States, but also by other political parties here.

Assuming that that's a liberal position. However, the statehood party here is very conservative. And, you know, it's complicated. There are shades of that, but that's what's happening here. And it did not escape anybody's notice that Bad Bunny not only was endorsing an independence candidate in this election, but also he showed up to vote in a light blue shirt and

Yeah. That one is sort of like pro-statehood or pro-Commonwealth status. Interesting. There's another flag, which is the blue is light blue in the triangle. And that one is pro-independence. And so when you see like a light blue flag, you know that that is someone who wants independence. And it comes from a different flag, which is La Bandera de Lares, which also has that light blue.

And Hostos died in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. And he's buried there. And he said that he did not want to be buried in Puerto Rico until it was a free country. So what Benito is doing in that line is sort of imagining like a day that Hostos could be buried here.
