The first delegation of the PRD arrived in the Dominican Republic 50 years ago on this day. Angel Miolan, Nicolas Silfa and Ramon A. Castillo arrived in Santo Domingo to establish the PRD party headquarters. The party will celebrate the occasion with Mass at the Mercedes Church in the Colonial Zone and a floral tribute at the Altar of the Nation in Independence Park.
The party was founded by Juan Bosch, Angel Miolan, Juan Isidro Jimenez Grullon, Virgilio Mainardi Reyna, Lucas Pichardo and Jose Manuel Santana over 72 years ago in Villa El Cano, Cuba. In exile, the party sponsored invasion attempts and kept up a stream of anti-Trujillo propaganda until the fall of the regime in 1961. The party has had five presidents over the intervening 50 years: Juan Bosch, Antonio Guzman, Jacobo Majluta, Salvador Jorge Blanco and Hipolito Mejia.
