Organizers of the Green March have announced yet another protest march, this time in Santiago for next Sunday, 26 March 2017. The march is being organized to protest repeated cases of corruption and impunity linked to the Odebrecht bribe scandal.
The organizers said that they wish to demonstrate to the government of President Danilo Medina that the public has had enough of the Odebrecht scandal. Odebrecht has built over 20 major infrastructure works in the country.
The route for the Green march will start where the ring road meets Hermanas Mirabel and then will take the route to Antonio Guzmán Fernández Avenue, ending at the Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration of the Republic, the traditional main gathering point in Santiago.
The Santiago march follows other previous marches held since the movement began in December 2017, including those in Santo Domingo, Puerto Plata, and San Francisco de Macoris.
