Wife of founder of PLD protests new party goals

Mrs. Carmen Quidiello de Bosch, wife of Juan Bosch, the founder of the Partido de la Liberacion Dominicana warned there is a distortion in the purposes of the PLD and requested that the name of her husband, former President Juan Bosch, be removed from the final report of the VI Congress of the party. She criticized the talk of the turning the party into a "powerful and invincible electoral machinery" with nothing more being important. She said that her husband (who is very ill) had envisioned the party as an instrument of social transformation. The new priorities of the party place me with the duty to witness the ethic values that Juan built a political dream for a new nation, she said in a letter to the party with her request.
