Supported by the former president Ulises Heureaux, he won the national elections in 1884, and served as the 23rd president of the Dominican Republic, from September 1, 1884 to May 16, 1885. He resigned in 1885 to avoid creating a civil war as he found opposition, as Gregorio Luperon believed he was Ulises Heureaux puppet and a way of the dictator to maintain political power while Heureaux opposed him when Billini's policies affected his power and interests in the country.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"25 April 1844","date":"1844-04-25"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q436216#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Santo Domingo","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q34820"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q436216#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"28 November 1898","date":"1898-11-28"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q436216#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Santo Domingo","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q34820"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q436216#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Dominican Republic","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q786"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q436216#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"writer","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q36180"},{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"},{"text":"teacher","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q37226"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q436216#P106"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"President of the Dominican Republic (1 September 1884 – 16 May 1885)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q607982","start":"1884-09-01","end":"1885-05-16"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q436216#P39"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Gregorio_Billini","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q436216"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Francisco Gregorio Billini born?","a":"Francisco Gregorio Billini was born on 25 April 1844 in Santo Domingo."},{"q":"What positions has Francisco Gregorio Billini held?","a":"Positions held by Francisco Gregorio Billini include: President of the Dominican Republic (1884–1885)."}],"related":[{"name":"Luis Abinader","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/luis-abinader"},{"name":"Danilo Medina","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/danilo-medina"},{"name":"Adolfo Alejandro Nouel","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/adolfo-alejandro-nouel"},{"name":"Juan Pablo Duarte","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/juan-pablo-duarte"},{"name":"Pedro Antonio Pimentel","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/pedro-antonio-pimentel"},{"name":"Joaquín Balaguer","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/joaquin-balaguer"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/francisco-gregorio-billini-0caac7bde1.jpg","width":132,"height":194,"license":"Public domain","credit":"Unknown/Desconocido","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Francisco_Billini.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Francisco Gregorio Billini","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Gregorio_Billini","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q436216","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q436216","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Francisco Billini.jpg by Unknown/Desconocido (Public domain)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Francisco_Billini.jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Francisco Gregorio Billini, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
