Third government of Luis Muñoz Marín
Third cabinet of the Puerto Rican government / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This third government of Luis Muñoz Marín followed his second reelection.[1][2] In many ways it was a continuation of the previous government, with some changes in positions such as the Secretary of Justice,[3] Agriculture, and the same amount of supermajoritarian control[4] of the Senate of Puerto Rico and House of Representatives of Puerto Rico, while the opposition composition shifted from being led by the Puerto Rican Independence Party to the Partido Estadista Republicano, their presence bolstered by virtue of the effects of Article III, Section 7 of the Constitution of Puerto Rico (1952).
