Los Bolos or Spanish: Partido Azul (Blue Party), was an old Dominican political party from the late 19th century to the mid 20th century. Ulises Heureaux and Juan Isidro Jimenes Pereyra were the main leaders of this party,[1] and were opposed to Los Coludos or Red Party, led by Horacio Vásquez[2][3]
The name of the party came from the popularity of rooster fighting in the late 19th and early 20th century, and Bolos literally means Tailless.[1]
