barriomulas.com - Rossello the Leftist

I have always complained that the PPD is a right wing party and often beats the PNP at being the most conservative of the two. Though both Rossello and Acevedo Vila believe in things such as privatization and market subsidies, Rossello believes in universal health and education. Rossello also has suggested the passing of a constitutional amendment which guarantees a right to health. Ironically, such amendments were removed from the Puerto Rican Constitution when it was approved by the U.S. Congress.

It was only a week ago that Rossello said that "the Popular Party is much more conservative [than the PNP], both in its program and its form of governing." Rossello concluded in an interview with El Vocero (5/9, p. 5) that the PNP is "much more liberal". Ironic how such words have to come from the PNP and not from the lone voices of the PPD like Senator Eudaldo Baez Galib.
