Another Murder in La Mulata ??
Hi ereryone, I live in La Mulata...
As many threads explain, "problems", minor but most of the time major, occur more and more often. To my opinion, it cant keepon like that...
I totally agree with this idea

And I think us extranjeros should join and then we would have much more power in our hands to face the problem

Iam so happy i NEVER bought any expencive property down here.
Even years back i laughed when i saw property for sale "in-the-hills-of-sosua".
It is so easy for the locals to kill someone now, because they know there is only a microscopic chance to be caught if they leave no witnesses alive. And it is just a Gringo, they cant do anything- if they do THEY get arrested and THEY had to pay money. So even the police will make money on every victim.
And there will always land new planes here with new future victims.
Its like shooting fish in a barrel for them.

No, but asking for a meeting with the Mayor, Chief and new Tourism Minister wouldn't hurt. You might have to be persistent to get all three to sit down with you all together, but I'm sure they'd listen.
If you really made an effort, you could get a huge gringo turnout.
I guess the townspeople of Sosua will have to decide. Actually I think that decision may already have been made....witness the more recent crackdown on the sex trade activity in the area.
Where there is sex trade, there is money, there are drugs and there is organized crime. That is just a fact of life.
There are winners and losers.
There is conflict.
There is pain and there is death.
No big surprises.
But the same people cannot then argue for AND against.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.

The more support there is...the louder the voice.....leads to publicity & no one likes negative publicity where tourism is concerned....I agree with ctrob that a meeting (public would be best) is a good start....good luck & I am sure that there will be massive support on dr1
The problem is that in their heavy-handed efforts to "clean up" the town (which will never succeed, in my opinion), they are throwing many people out of work. So far, they have recently closed Passions night club, El Toro (a big bar) a hotel (I believe) many massage parlours and even manicure/pedicure places on the beach. The people working at these places have lost their jobs and adding to unemployment will never reduce crime.
If they really want to change the town's image, they need to have a carefully thought-out strategy to do it gradually and constructively. I don't think they have the imagination or financial backing from the government to do it properly, so after causing a lot of chaos things will soon revert to normal.
Yes but what happens downtown (prostitution, drugs...) is different than what concerns residential area like La Mulata. What I
meant is that the La Mulata residents should gather and organize within an association (or something close) to raise their voice when talking to the authorities. A public reunion where the mayor would be invited would be a good idea, for a start

You're right...........
If it were easy it would have been fixed already.
And you are also right that the people who have been charged to deal with things like this are not necessarily dealing in the best of faith...
So it all comes back to the people.
Ain't life grand.
Avarice rules the world.
Down with avarice.
May be true, but it may also bring "that element" into the neighborhood.
One doesn't have to do crack to be affected by a crack house or crack addicts in the neighborhood...
I'm not stating that prostitution is an issue in La Mulata.
Prostitution is an issue for Sosua and the surrounding areas like La Mulata because it attracts criminal elements.

What's attracting the criminal element in other parts of the country, chip?
