Puerto Rico party seeks UN aid on status

“Puerto Ricos ruling party approved a resolution Sunday urging the United Nations to review the islands status, hoping international pressure can help it gain greater autonomy from the United States.

It was the first time Gov. Anibal Acevedo Vilas Popular Democratic Party, which has favored the current commonwealth status, has called for such a change. The approval was announced by Vila, who last week said he will run for re-election next year.”
