On Tuesday, members of the General Directorate for Drug Control (DNCD), the National Police and the Tourism Police, They militarized the beach due to the refusal of the vendors to readjust the place.
According to the “beacheros”, as the workers call themselves, the Minister of Tourism wants to privatize the beach and “take away their livelihood”.
Both the Dominican State and the workers have been carrying out rmeetings to reach an agreement on the readjustment of the place and location of the vendors.
