Editorial dedicated to Juan Bosch

Politician and author Juan Bosch is dying. Today, El Siglo dedicates its editorial to the Dominican Republic’s leading storybook writer and former President. Bosch is known as a leading Latin American author for his "El Indio Manuel Sicurí," "La Mancha Indeleble," "La Mujer" and "Un Cuento de Navidad." Bosch is a founder of the Partido Revolucionario Dominicano and the Partido de la Liberación Dominicana. Both parties have held power in the Republic. El Siglo recognizes Bosch as a "social educator" in the DR. Bosch has been suffering from Parkinson’s Disease for several years now, but news reports say his condition is worsening.
