Transport strike causes chaos in Santo Domingo
Commuters on their way to work on Monday, 8 October 2018, had a hard time finding transport. Many drivers affiliated with the National Federation of Transport, the New Option (Fenatrano) took the morning off, stranding hundreds of passengers that utilize the 27 February Avenue route and other key transport routes that are controlled by Fenatrano. Commuters that use the Fenatrano route on the Avenida Independencia, Rómulo Betancourt, Simón Bolívar, Gregorio Luperón and Isabela Aguiar were affected.
There had been no previous announcement that there would be a strike on Monday, 8 October. The strike left many commuters who use mass transport without an alternate way to get to their jobs. Many of the striking workers blocked streets, bringing traffic to a halt. Eventually the police arrived and used tear gas to disperse the crowds.
At mid-morning the vice president of Fenatrano, Antonio Brito, entered the Ministry of Industry & Commerce offices and shortly afterward called off the strike. The transporters are calling for a reduction in the price of fuel. Brito said that he would soon meet with mass transport business heads to decide which other ministries should be approached. He did not rule out the possibility of calling for a national strike.
Brito stated: "We will continue the fight until there is a transparent and fair pricing of fuel for our members and for the public in general." The government has not revealed all the components of the formula for setting the price of fuels.
Meanwhile, Administrative Minister Jose Ramon Peralta urged the transporter workers to negotiate with the government. Peralta reiterated that the government would not allow any transport unit to disrupt public transportation.

Overproduction of poultry causes huge losses
The president of the Association of Small Poultry Producers in Moca and Licey (APROAMOLI), Ambiorix Cabrera, has complained that during the months of August and September there has been an overproduction of poultry that has led to multi-million peso losses for the producers.
Cabrera said that the overproduction resulted from speculation and lack of planning on the part of the state. Cabrera noted that the government’s authorization of the importation of fertilized eggs also contributed to the sector’s problems.
Leaders of the national poultry industry, meeting at the Ordinary Board Meeting of the National Confederation of Poultry (Confenagro), held in Licey al Medio, Santiago, complained that the price of poultry had never plunged to the levels it reached in September 2018, when the producers had to sell chicken at less than RD$12 a pound, well below the cost of production, estimated at RD$26 a pound.
Eric Rivero, president of Confenagro, highlighted the importance of the chicken industry given that it is the main source of protein in the country, with sales of more than RD$25 billion last year. The industry leaders agreed to conduct a campaign to increase local consumption.

Prosecutor accused of sexual harassment receives suspended sentence
The former prosecutor from Samana, Robert Justo Bobadilla, received a one year suspended jail sentence, when the judge presiding over the case came to an agreement with Bobadillas attorneys. Under the agreement, Bobadilla pled guilty to sexual harassment of 10 women, including former employees of the Public Prosecution Service, clients and others. He had served only four months of pre-trial custody when the deal was reached. It is not clear what, if any, agreements with the victims were that apparently led to the plea deal.
Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez said that he reaffirmed the commitment of the Public Prosecution Service to support women who were victims of sexual violence and said that this case proved that anyone committing a crime of this nature would be prosecuted.
While Bobadilla had only completed four months in jail of preventive custody prior to receiving the suspended sentence, he will now be under surveillance and has to attend counseling sessions.

The pilots had in there possession 600 kilos of cocaine that was confiscated.

No earthquake in Cuba, source of earthquake in Haiti and DR are different
The UASD Seismological Institute said that the 5.9 Richter magnitude scale earthquake was only felt in Haiti, not in Cuba, as erroneously had been reported. Due to an error in the detection system, it was broadcast that island of Cuba was at the epicenter of the quake. The error was quickly discovered and an update issued. On Saturday, 6 October 2018, at 8pm, a 5.9 Richter magnitude scale earthquake occurred in northern Haiti, and a 5.4 aftershock was felt on Sunday, on the northeast of Haiti. 15 deaths and more than 300 injuries have been attributed to the quake.
Meanwhile, the UASD Seismological Center and the US Geological Service reported more than 40 mild earthquakes in the area of the island of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic). As reported, 34 earthquakes have been on the border zone, most near Montecristi. Because of the spike in seismic activity, the Ministry of Education is checking public schools for damage.
On Sunday 9 October, there was a 5.4 earthquake reported in the same area off the northwest coast of Haiti, which was felt in Montecristi, Valverde, Dajabón, Santiago Rodríguez and Santiago.
The director of the Seismological Center, Eugenio Polanco, said that there have been no reports of any damage in the Dominican Republic.

Rains to continue and provinces under alert
According to the National Meteorological Office (Onamet) the rains are to continue over the northeast, southeast, northwest, and border area due to a weather front crossing over the country. Rains are forecast to continue during the week as the weather front meets a tropical wave located to the southeast of Puerto Rico.
Alerts are in place for floods, overflowing of rivers and mudslides. On yellow alert are Santiago and San Juan de la Maguana. Green alerts have been issued for the provinces of Azua, Barahona, Monte Plata, La Vega, Hato Mayor, Sánchez Ramírez, Monseñor Nouel, San Cristóbal, Puerto Plata and Dajabón.
While the peak of the hurricane season for the island of Hisplaniola is past, Onamet is also watching an area of low pressure located between the Azores and the Canary Isles that has a 10% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone and a tropical wave to the south of the Cape Verde Isles that has a 20% of becoming a tropical cyclone.
