I was just in Sosua and took a turn down the street that the municipal building is on. What a mistake! It looked like a moto concho convention. There had to be 500 moto conchos and many police. It seemed quite organized for the DR.. The bikes were all parked in a neat line on the side street. And the men, just standing around.

Anyone know why they were there?

Thanks!

if it was AMET they usually are enforcing the helmet law (lol), or checking metriculas ... a couple of months ago there was alot of AMET officers on every corner in Sosua, looking for helmets, and seat belts, and people talking on cellular phones... I was amazed at how many moto conchos put helmets on that day...

Objecting to progree thats all. There is a big protest by the moto conchos and a partial Huelga. They are protesting the implementation of guagas transporting from places like Maranata to Batey. Especially good for the kids going to school that they can all be in one vehicle and thats safer than 4 kids on a moto and much dryer in the rain. (AND CHEAPER) The motos conchos do not want this as it cuts into their business and they are too lazy to look for other work.

That was supposed to be PROGRESS not progree. Apparently they already torched a guaga in Maranata and put some of the new competition out of business.

Lazy, in comparison to what and whom? At least they get up and go out to work to attempt to earn a living as the state is not going to feed them and their familes if they have no money, right?

The other crowd puller :rolleyes: in Sosua today was this afternoon - the police shooting the guys who tried breaking into the gift shop in Maranatha - 2 dead, 1 injured, 1 escaped (but probably not for long). Robbers were wearing military fatigues.
