1750 Hato Rey Conference
The Hato Rey Conference of XIII.1750 AN, saw Vice-Premier Fred Strong, present in Hato Rey on account of a tour of inspection of Alexandrian Legion regiments recently transferred to Boriquén from North Lyrica, meet with Civic Governance Alliance deputies Beatriz Daguao, Marco Colón, Tessa Ramirez, Yuisa Aracelis and Guarocuya Benítez, to discuss the commencement of a new political front into the region where the Wakara People's Party had governed since incorporation into the Federation and now stood increasingly suspected of governing along ethnic particularist lines through clientism. As former members of the WPP, the deputies had been invited to brief the Vice-Premier on the "lie of the land", the local political factions and power brokers. The Vice-Premier's contention was that Boriquén required a clean broom, and that the deputies, by virtue of being native to the land, would be best placed to provide it. Accordingly he was interested in their ideas on how to proceed.
According to participants, Beatriz Daguao, as co-founder of the WPP, counseled the Vice-Premier that confrontation with the party would be counterproductive, noting that the WPP's electoral dominance stemmed from its perceived commitment to addressing genuine regional concerns. She and deputies Marco Colón and Tessa Ramirez reportedly advised Strong that the Federal Humanist Party should instead consider supporting key WPP initiatives, particularly the long-delayed Plurinational Federation Constitutional Amendment Act, 1735, which remains the central aspiration of Boriquén voters. Yuisa Aracelis suggested that co-opting popular WPP positions would do more to build FHP support than attempting to undermine the regional government, while Guarocuya Benítez warned that any perceived federal interference would only strengthen WPP's claim to be the sole defender of Boriquén autonomy.
At a side meeting, Fred Strong then met with María-Teresa Enríquez and Ignacio Perez y de Pauta, members of the Regional Sector Party of the Federal Humanist Party in the region who had served on the executive branch of the Areyto Boriquén. When the responses received from the CGA delegates were reviewed, Ignacio counseled that the recognition of "traditional governance systems within the framework of federal law" would be a recipe for legal anarchy, "neither coordinated nor harmonious", and would result ultimately in Federal acquiescence to capitulations in favour of preferred minorities, to the detriment of equality and unity in the national community.
