Resident commissioner leads PDP delegation at Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York

Puerto Rico Resident Commissioner Pablo José Hernández Rivera led the Popular Democratic Party delegation at the Puerto Rican Day Parade down Fifth Avenue in the New York City Borough of Manhattan on Sunday. The parade, one of the most important cultural events for the Puerto Rican community in the United States, pays tribute each year to personalities, municipalities and organizations that strengthen Puerto Rican identity and pride. This year’s parade was dedicated to the island municipality of Aguas Buenas, while next year the event will pay tribute to Vega Baja on the 250th anniversary of the northern coastal town’s founding.
