TheHostosian National Independence Movement (Spanish:Movimiento Independentista Nacional Hostosiano, MINH) is a political organization inPuerto Rico.[citation needed] In 2015, Julio Muriente was its leader.[1]
The MINH was formed on May 6, 2004,[citation needed] by a merger of theNational Hostosian Congress (CNH) and theNew Puerto Rican Independence Movement (NMIP). The two groups that formed the MINH were organizational descendants of thePuerto Rican Socialist Party (PSP). The organization's name and ideology are based on the tradition ofEugenio María de Hostos, a historical independence advocate. The official organ of the MINH isRed Betances and the newspaper "El Hostosiano".
It was an organizational observer of theNon-Aligned Movement.[2][3]
As of 2017 Héctor Pesquera was one of its co-presidents.[4]
The organization also reportedly has a "radical youth wing".[5]
In 2015 they praised (through their spokesperson Héctor Pesquera) Puerto Rican independence protests, saying "...it’s been a long time since an event for independence was so successful."[6]
In 2016, MINH (via Wilma Reverón) denounced the collection of DNA samples from 3 independentist militants.[7]
