PIP Repudiates Vandalism against Antonia Martinez Commerative Mural

In what is an apparent disrespect for the independence movement and its patriots, a mural of Antonia Martinez Lagares, located in Ponce, P.R., was defaced. The actions may have been those of some callous individual/s with complete disrespect for what the mural stands for or of an ignorant one devoid of the murals significance. Whichever the case, respect is mutual and should be earned but by commiting this act the culprit/s have no respect and think otherwise.


A press release condeming the defacing of the mural has been issued by the the PIP (Partido Independista Puertorriqueño). It condemns the action as a clear example of intolerance against the independence movement.

Repudia el PIP vandalismo en mural conmemorativo a Antonia Martínez

Comunicado de prensa
San Juan, Puerto Rico - 30 de marzo de 2010

El Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño (PIP) expresó su más enérgico repudio al ataque recibido por enemigos de la independencia que vandalizaron en Ponce el mural conmemorativo de los cuarenta años del asesinato de la mártir de las luchas estudiantiles, Antonia Martínez Lagares. Para colectividad la acción representa un claro ejemplo de la intolerancia contra el independentismo y una de las múltiples maneras en que se manifiesta la represión contra el PIP y otras organizaciones patrióticas.
