i’m going to do some quick translating since i need you to know what’s going on in my country (Dominican Republic) since last sunday:
so on sunday 16th we had our municipal elections that got suspended because the system wasn’t properly working, in some cases when people tried to vote for the candidate they wanted it only showed one candidate, that political party is the main one (PLD) and they are in control of pretty much everything. elections got suspended around 11 am and the institution responsible for supervising the elections admitted that they knew the system had a glitch since the day before (saturday) however they decided to go ahead and proceed with everything.
people are pretty upset about it because they spent around 15 billions of dominican pesos and they confirmed it multiples times that “the system was up and running” before the elections happened. this political party has been abusing its people for around 16 years and now everyone is joining the peaceful protest that’s happening in the whole country and many cities outside our country. this is important because the world needs to know that this is peaceful and we only want to defend our right to vote.
PLEASE REBLOG THIS SINCE THE PRESS IS NOT GOING TO! Let everyone know what’s happening in Dominican Republic
