it makes sense they say Profesor and not Presidente in the title of this plaza. commemorate people for the things they did well, not the jobs they botched.

Which job did he botch, and how did he botch it? Would you care to elaborate?

The one he could only hold on to for seven whole months in '63.

being honest the proffesor bosh deserve it not one he deserve several.
but i think it is not time for that.
i am just being a little bit just li juan bush.
the pld knows he would not like it not now when the country is starving.

Is that as far as you can get with your elaboration?

Now now fred, it´s stuff like that which got a guy named goul kicked out....

why I stole the joke from Chris Rock ? and I think it is quite funny and about naming dumb things after famous people

They have to name the them anyway, why not make it symbolic... take it easy fred... dont sweat the small things.. your demon castro bros are on their way out ! relax.

It's called a Military Coup DUMB A$$... he did not get kicked out he was forced out!

Stop naming stuff after Bosch and start living to his teachings, The PLD Goverment needs to stop being corrupted Bosch was anti corruption.
But LF is the most corrupted in the country. ...

Chilli.

Bosh was not anti-corruption, He was anti-corruption for those who didn't belong to his cadre. His people stole as much, if not more, than others.

Chill out and relax chillax. Please don't mistreat my boy Hatero. He doesn't deserve to be insulted. Anthony, maybe you are privy to some data that I don't know about. Do you have any evidence of unattended and unpunished corruption within and during Don Juan's administration? If you do I would sure like to know about it. He assumed power on Feb. 27 and ruled until sept 25 of 1963. During this period he tried to install the most perfect model of democracy, and structure the country so that everyone benefitted, not only the privileged. His honesty was paramount and remains unblemished to this day. Corruption monitoring became so intense that even the armed forces turned against him. Those seven months are well accounted for in the PLD and PRD archives. So is the history of events leading to his coup which was not effectuated by Ellias Wessin y Wessin but by Atila Luna Morales. It would be interesting to find out what it is you can come up with. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Bosch

Using Wikipedia as a source in any debate pretty much any need for a response.

Don't listen to anything that Anthony says he just Anti Dominican. \Another troll, but not Haitian....
what he knows about DR Nothing!!! he has been proven wrong several times...

3 eyed by way of elaboration I'll offer this: as a professor Bosch wrote some fine works, every title of his I have read was informative and educational. beyond my opinion the success of his work is verified by the fact his books are re-published year after year. So he was a success in this role.

As President we can have varied opinions about his policy ... but his failure as a head of state is verified by his inability to hold on to power. The source of the coup is not really the point, as even within recent history we have seen leaders in the Caribbean survive the meddling of the giant next door. His policies may have been good but to be a successful President in Latin-America means knowing how to stay in charge.

And so I personally co-sign on PROFESOR Juan Bosch Plaza. His work in this role is what he will be remembered for.

I completely see your point Hatero, and I agree with you when it comes to the title he should be remembered by. It should definitely be Professor. I personally think the plaza should be called "Plaza del Maestro". I also think he is a great role model for every Dominican, but I don't think what happened in those seven months was a botch. He wasn't careless or irresponsible. He was honorable and refused to do what Balaguer did in his 12 year period and kill thousands of people or use lies and deceit to balance his power. To define this historical moment as a botch would be equal to defining Allende's period as a botch, or Jose Marti's death as a botch, or the Battle of the Thermopylae, or any event where a man faced greater odds and lost - not failed. Please accept my respects and gratitude for your articulate response.

can I get my shoes shined at the plaza for one peso???
