President Danilo Medina signed the law that establishes that the literary works of former President Juan Bosch are now part of the “Cultural Documental Heritage of the Dominican Nation.”
Juan Bosch was a noted writer and political leader way before he became the first freely elected President of the Dominican Republic after the assassination of Rafael Trujillo in 1961. He founded the PRD party (1939) as well as the PLD party (1973).
