Country Alliance (Spanish: Alianza de País) is an electoral alliance in Puerto Rico for the 2024 Puerto Rican general election composed by two progressive, anti-colonial parties of Puerto Rico.

Background

[edit]

In the 2016 gubernatorial election, the independent candidate Alexandra Lúgaro managed to arrive in third with 11.13%, María De Lourdes Santiago of the Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) and Rafael Bernabe from the Working People's Party (PPT) failed to reach the 3% threshold required to remain registered with 2.13% and 0.34% respectively.[1] It was the first time since 1964 that one of the two main parties got less than 40%, when the pro-statehood PNP was still known as Partido Estadista Republicano and the first time since 1968 a third-party candidate got more than 10% of the vote.[2]

In the 2020 gubernatorial election, Alexandra Lúgaro, this time for the newly-formed Movimiento Victoria Ciudadana (MVC), reached 13.95% and PIP-candidate Juan Dalmau reached 13.58%, combined they got just 4.2% less than Carlos Delgado Altieri of the PPD and 5.7% less than Pedro Pierluisi of the PNP.[3]

The electoral law of Puerto Rico bans electoral fusion thus PIP runs Roberto Velázquez as Resident Commissioner candidate and MVC runs Javier Córdova Iturregui as gubernatorial candidate who function as paper candidates.[4]
