The civic movement Green March (Marcha Verde) is calling for a Sunday, 28 January 2018, march on the intersection of Av. Mexico with Calle 30 de Marzo in front of the Presidential Palace. The march will take place beginning at 9am. The group said that the list of actions to be taken in 2018 will be announced at the conclusion of the January march.
A press release of the group says that the gathering is to commemorate the birthday of founding father Juan Pablo Duarte and the anniversary of the first Marcha Verde demonstrations that seek an end to impunity for administrative corruption-linked crimes. “We urge all protestors to dress in green and go with their families to express the public’s irreversible demand to end the regime of corruption and impunity that has our country has been subjected to, resulting in a political and institutional quagmire. 2018 will be the year of the citizens’ triumph against corruption and this march will send a clear message to the government,” read the Green March statement
