The news portal 7 Dias (7dias.com.do) is closing. Founding journalist Margarita Cordero made the announcement recalling several of the investigative journalism achievements of the online news service. Among these is the investigation that led to the restoring of the Bahia de las Aguilas beach lands back to the government, after denouncing complicity of government officials in the attempted fraudulent privatization deal.

“Every day there are fewer spaces where people can say what they think,” Cordero writes. “Until today, when it closes forever, 7 Dias was one of them.”
