PUERTO RICO HERALD: Profile: Pedro Rosselló Pedro Rosselló has taken a leading role in the effort to resolve the Vieques controversy, and as Governor he has represented the island in negotiations with Washington. Pedro Rosselló appears to be betting that the latter is true. Pedro Rosselló was appointed Director of Health for the City of San Juan in 1985. www.puertorico-herald.org /issues/vol4n20/ProfileRossello-en.shtml

Puerto Rico: For Mass Action Against Imperialism Sure enough, on January 31, Clinton and his henchman Pedro Rosselló, the incumbent governor of Puerto Rico from the pro-statehood Partido Nuevo Progresista (PNP: New Progressive Party), arrived at a “compromise.” It meant that U.S. imperialism would continue to pull the strings and Rosselló would continue to dance. This sparked a popular movement demanding that the routine use of Vieques for military practice be permanently terminated. The PPD equivocated over the question but, true to its bourgeois character, came out against continuing the encampments after Clinton and Rosselló struck their deal. www.lrp-cofi.org /PR/PRPR61.html   (2664 words)

Puerto Rico's Ex-Governor Wants Seat Colleagues in the pro-statehood New Progressive Party, of which Pedro Rosselló is president, are working double-time to get a handle on a situation that has never arisen in the U.S. commonwealth's history: a former governor angling to return to elective office through backdoor maneuverings. In a published report this week, McClintock extended an olive branch to his rival, saying that should Rosselló become a member of the chamber, he would be happy to create for him a special commission as befits a former governor. Rosselló not only aspires to fill a Senate seat made vacant expressly for him, but also wants to oust Senate President Kenneth McClintock. www.virtualboricua.org /Docs/tr05.htm   (458 words)

PUERTO RICO HERALD: Who Will be the Next Governor of Puerto Rico? Carlos Pesquera is still adamant that he will challenge former Governor Pedro Rosselló in a November, 2003, primary election for the New Progressive Party (NPP) candidacy, although he is given virtually no chance of winning. In the first shock of the current race, Rosselló electrified Puerto Ricans with the news that he was ready for a comeback. He had left San Juan in 2001, his party defeated and a corruption investigation of his administration in full swing, to take a teaching post at a Washington, D.C., medical school, telling friends and supporters that he was done with the madness of island politics. www.puertorico-herald.org /issues/2003/vol7n23/Poll0723-en.shtml   (851 words)

PUERTO RICO HERALD: PIP Claims Senate Spokesman Position… The new senator recognizes, nevertheless, that her companion in the Legislature, Rep. Victor García San Inocencio, could have a more difficult journey because the House speaker is Jose Aponte, "who has been Pedro Rosselló’s most important spokesperson." Rosselló had suggested not granting any spokesperson position to the PIP. SAN JUAN (AP)–Sen.-elect Maria de Lourdes Santiago said Wednesday that with the re-inscription of the Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP), there is no excuse to deny her spokesperson position in the Senate.

PUERTO RICO HERALD: Profile: Carlos Pesquera Pesquera portrays himself as the best candidate to build upon the successes of his political mentor, Pedro Rosselló. Pesquera also sees Puerto Rico’s status issue as the root cause of the controversy on the island of Vieques, where the 1999 death of a civilian security guard on a U.S. Navy bombing range has sparked more than a year of anti-Navy protests. By June, however, Pesquera had narrowed the gap to six percentage points; and a poll at the end of July showed him in the lead for the first time, with a 40% to 35% advantage. www.puertorico-herald.org /issues/vol4n40/ProfilePesquera-en.shtml   (736 words)

Puerto Rico Herald: Government Gridlock The Senate this week, home to NPP chief Pedro Rosselló, has confronted Acevedo Vilá over another issue the governor is not forcefully addressing — the strike at the University of Puerto Rico over a modest tuition increase. The era of divided government in Puerto Rico is increasingly starting to look like the era of gridlock. But the strategy also contributes to the view that the administration has no clear handle on Puerto Rico’s situation yet, still formulating policy rather than knowing which course to take and drawing a road map out of the present difficulties. www.puertorico-herald.org /issues2/2005/vol09n16/PRR0916-en.shtml   (914 words)

PUERTO RICO HERALD: Profile: Carlos Pesquera Incumbent Governor Pedro Rosselló (NPP), who had been trailing in the polls to his Popular Democratic Party (PDP) challenger Sila Calderón, had surprised the island only weeks before when he announced that he would not seek a third term. Pesquera also sees Puerto Rico’s status issue as the root cause of the controversy on the island of Vieques, where the 1999 death of a civilian security guard on a U.S. Navy bombing range has sparked more than a year of anti-Navy protests. Although he cites the inspiration of a grandfather who was the three-term mayor of Naranjito, Puerto Rico, in the 1920s and ‘30s, politics do not figure prominently in Pesquera’s background. www.puertorico-herald.org /issues/vol4n40/ProfilePesquera-en.shtml   (736 words)
