Libertarian Party of Puerto Rico

The Libertarian Party of Puerto Rico (LPPR) was the Puerto Rico affiliate of the Libertarian Party. The original party was founded
in May, 1997 in Santurce, Puerto Rico. Its formation was largely spearheaded by local
talk-radio host Frank Worley and pro-statehood activist Jose Julio Diaz, who
were able to bring together a small group of Puerto Rican libertarians. The party
was sporadically active between 1997 and 1999, until fading away around the turn of
the century.
The Libertarian Party of Puerto Rico never obtained ballot access on the island and
ran no known candidates under its name. A more recent version of the party is now a
web-based micro-movement that aims to raise awareness of libertarianism and its
potential role in the island.
