Let me see if I have this straight, the Ministry of the Environment is having police arrest employees of the Tourism Ministry and the Public Works Ministry who are hacking their way through the Nacional Parque Este to make a trail??:surprised
Sounds like the Prez needs to straighten this situation out. Does Presidential decree 686-05 permit this instrusion and cutting of hundreds of trees in a national park? If this not truly sanctioned by the Prez, then this will make the Ministry of the Environment basically an ineffective Ministry to control environmental abuse, if such an atrocity is permitted.
I've never heard of such crazy infighting between ministries within a country.
If this is permitted (for the sake of development greed and enrichment of the involved parties) while Environmental laws are scoffed, then basically it sends a message that all Dominican laws are subject to financial gain. Disdain for laws perpetuates a country that has "pseudo laws", where any law can be stretched, as long as various parties get their palms greased. :ermm:
