DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: Mejía policies trigger protest strike
As this issue is being put to bed, Dominicans will be discovering if the
Coordinadora de Organizaciones Populares (an umbrella body representing
about 60 social and civic organisations) has succeeded in mustering
mass support for a 24-hour general strike to protest the government's economic
policies. The main targets of the protest are the impact of inflation
on basic goods and fuels, and the frequent power blackouts, which have
become particularly intense in the north of the country.
