Political propaganda pollutes Santo Domingo

Santo Domingo residents are suffering the eyesore of a city saturated with political propaganda, even though the municipal and congressional campaign will open later this month. Signs, posters and banners saturate most city intersections and streets in heavily transited areas. Franklin Almeyda, who is running for senator on the Partido de la Liberación Dominicana, and Roberto Salcedo, running for mayor, have the biggest signs. City hall has said it will prohibit political propaganda in parks and nearby traffic lights.
