The statue of Juan Ponce de León, Spanish colonizer and invader, was toppled in San Juan on the morning of January 24, the same day that King Felipe VI arrived from Spain. The group Fuerzas Libertarias de Borikén claimed responsibility for the action.
“Ahead of the planned visit of the King of Spain, Felipe VI, to Puerto Rico and the escalation of the gringo invaders taking over our lands, we want to send a clear message: Neither Kings, nor gringo invaders; Borikén is ours.
Juan Ponce De Leon, who was the first governor appointed by the Spanish tyranny more than 500 years ago, represents the worst. He was the leader of the slaughter of our Taino ancestors who resisted under the leadership of Agüeybaná El Bravo. History has not been told well, but the generation that has not stood back is coming to the rescue and we will fight with pride like the original peoples of Borikén”.
