We have our own flag.

Don't forget that.

And that flag comes up again.

Then he has La Mudanza, and La Mudanza has lyrics where he talks about things like the gag law, which was the law that made it illegal to display the Puerto Rican flag or even to have it in one's home.

He says the lyric, like, aquí mataron gente por sacar la bandera.

They killed people for having a flag here, right?

And that's referencing a lot of these massacres that happened against Puerto Rican independence advocates.

And it's specifically about the light blue flag, which is the flag color, right?

It was light blue with red, and that was not under U.S.

rule.

They made that flag illegal, and then it was rebranded with dark blue.

And the dark blue then could be seen as more associated with the U.S.,

And in the video, we see him running with the light blue flag, right?

Which is, he's not saying I'm an independence party advocate or I believe in independence.

He's talking about it through the flag, through the color of the flag.

You don't understand the significance of the light blue, then you're not going to be like, oh, well, he's for independence.

But if you know those things, then you know that that's exactly what he's saying.

DTMF is an extension of an anti-colonial politics that Bad Bunny has become much more open and direct about.

In the last gubernatorial election, he spoke in support of the independence candidate.

And also bought billboards against the pro-statehood party.
