The “cacerolazo,” the popular form of protest in Venezuela, has found a great following in Santo Domingo. After the bid to bang pots, on Friday, 21 February from 8 to 8:10pm thousands of households made their voice heard from home.
On Saturday, President Danilo Medina was greeted with pot-banging at his own condominium. The action was then repeated on Sunday, 23 February from 3 to 3:10 pm, 6 to 6:10 and 8 to 8:10 and 9 to 9:10pm.
The action is taken to demand that the Central Electoral Board (JCE) organize fair and transparent elections on 15 March (municipal) and 17 May (congressional and presidential).
