{kamyzi'e} ("mz" is forbidden) is "independencia" or "liberdad". How about 
{kamyzi'edji}?

Another possibility for "party" is {grivli}; if lo grivlici'e is politics, the 
powers that compose the system are grivli.

I think the word order should be {la me la puertorikos. kamyzi'edji 
trusragri}. The word order you gave would mean "Partido Independentista de 
Puerto Rico".
