As noted, only 23% of all voters participated in the voting.

At the same time, more than 500 thousand voted for full membership in the US. People, for free association or independence - 7,600 people, and for maintaining the current status of Puerto Rico - 6,700 people.



According to the Governor of Puerto Rico, Ricardo Rossello, the accession of Puerto Rico to the United States as the 51st state will allow resolving the difficult economic crisis of this country.

Nevertheless, Puerto Rico is unlikely to get permission from the Senate, largely due to the position of Republicans who do not want the inclusion of another state that is likely to support the Democrats.

Recall, as previously reported, "URA-Inform," the Coast Guard of the United States discovered the wreckage near the coast of the Bahamas.
