He was an insatiable reader, polyglot, warrior and peacemaker, but above all a permanent lover of democracy\u201d, he expressed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nTorres recalled that, despite the precariousness that marked his origin, the social democratic leader managed to train at prestigious universities around the world and project his leadership internationally. He also evoked the historic rallies at the head of the 17th bridge, where the deceased leader proudly announced the arrival of the so-called \"Imperial Guard\" of Villa Mella, now Santo Domingo Norte.\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>You can also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/deultimominuto.net\/nacionales\/uasd-rinde-homenaje-pena-gomez\/\">UASD pays tribute to Jos\u00e9 Francisco Pe\u00f1a G\u00f3mez<\/a><\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\nDuring the activity, the artist Alicia Baroni performed the emblematic song \"Hombre de \u00c9bano\", dedicated to the late leader, at a moment that sparked emotional applause among those present.\n\nWithin the framework of the commemoration, former President Hip\u00f3lito Mej\u00eda also spoke, who affirmed that the political example of Pe\u00f1a G\u00f3mez continues to be an ethical reference for those who practice politics.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\"Politicians in some cases discredit ourselves, but politics does not.
