Hostosian National Independence Movement

Encyclopedia : H : HO : HOS : Hostosian National Independence Movement

The Hostosian National Independence Movement (Spanish: Movimiento Independentista Nacional Hostosiano, MINH) is a leftist and pro-independence organization in Puerto Rico. The MINH was formed on May 6, 2004, by a merger of the National Hostosian Congress (CNH) and the New Puerto Rican Independence Movement (NMIP). The two groups that formed the MINH were organizational descendants of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party (PSP). The organization's name and ideology are based on the tradition of Eugenio María de Hostos, a historical independence advocate. The official organ of the MINH is Red Betances.

The MINH plans to remain outside of electoral politics. Instead, the movement is engaging in community organizing at the local level, hoping to build an island-wide base of support for its program.
