Movimiento Victoria Ciudadana (English: Citizens' Victory Movement, generally abbreviated as MVC) is a

constitutional assembly to determine a final decision regarding the relationship between the United States and Puerto Rico
.

History

The Movimiento Victoria Ciudadana was a result of an attempt by some minority parties, such as the

2012 and 2016 gubernatorial elections, running under the PPT and receiving 0.098% and 0.034% votes, respectively.[3]

On Tuesday, March 5, 2019, Rivera Lassén, registered the party logo as well as the intention of forming a new party at the

Resident Commissioner Mariana Nogales Molinelli, as well as political sciences professor and author, Manuel S. Almeida.[2]

Prior to the constituting assembly, PNP representative

mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulín Cruz (PPD), "would mobilize municipal resources and employees [that] night" to the assembly, to be held at the Teatro Tapia, owned by the municipal government of San Juan. Yulín Cruz, who had been strongly suspected of her intent to join the MVC, inquired at what time he had stated that and if he was in an drunken state. Additionally, she confirmed that she had accepted meetings with the MVC and expressed her support for new political movements, even though she would not be joining them.[6]

At an assembly held at 7:00 p.m. in the Teatro Tapia in Old San Juan on Monday, March 11, 2019, the party was founded.[3] The ceremony, which was moderated by Rivera Lassen,[7] was standing-room only and some people had to be left out.[8] The doors opened at 6:30 p.m., and the queue "extended beyond the sidewalk." Attendees received a document titled "Citizen Victory Urgent Agenda", which included part of the party platform and a summary of the purpose of the party.[9] After the ceremony, in which Rivera Lassen and Lúgaro on stage, the leaders of the newly-formed party, which included Bernabe Riefkhol, Natal Albelo, held a press conference, in which Lúgaro rejected the idea of a "wasted vote," with Rivera Lassen stating that "[a] vote for [MVC] is a vote for the future of Puerto Rico" and Natal Albelo commenting that "in this movement, the action counts, not the reaction."[10]

At its founding assembly, the party platform stated that the MVC was founded "to attend to three urgent duties of our time:" fighting corruption and restoring Puerto Rico's governmental institutions; promoting social, economic, and fiscal reconstruction; and decolonization of Puerto Rico.[9][10][11] MVC also calls for a constitutional assembly to choose a decolonization plan that results in statehood, full independence, or a free association status with the United States.[12] In economic terms, the party's platform known as the "Urgent Agenda" places emphasis on strengthening labor rights and opposing privatization.[1] The 2019 Telegramgate scandal that implicated the ruling New Progressive Party helped define the focus of the MVC on government reform.[13]
