A protest meeting will be held today in Duarte Plaza in La Vega in support of Loma Miranda
SANTIAGO. A protest meeting in the Duarte Plaza in the city of La Vega is set for 10:00 a.m. today. This is a protest by the Bishop and other institutions to demand the government sponsor the declaration of Loma Miranda as a National Park.

Yesterday, the Police said that they will guarantee public order during the celebration of the demonstration and added that they would keep watch so that persons from outside would not filter into the movement.

The police spokesman, Colonel Jacobo Mateo Moquete, explained that the chief of the Police, Major General Manuel Castro Castillo, has ordered all possible police protection in order to avoid that during the demonstration there is disorderly conduct.

In this sense, Reverend Rogelio Cruz blamed Falconbridge Dominicana (Falcondo) for whatever might happen from now on, while at the same time reporting that the mining company suggested in a meeting his physical elimination.

"There is a willingness of Falcondo and they sat down, they said that the person that should be eliminated was the priest Rogelio Cruz," said the Catholic priest, although he did not specify where the meeting took place no identify its participants.

He said that during this meeting, Falcondo supposedly suggested two points; the first was to eliminate physically Rogelio Cruz and then discredit the popular movement that backs the declaration of a National Park as a forest reserve of Loma Miranda, in Bonao.

(Last night Diario Libre contacted Falcondo regarding the report by Rogelio, and the answer was that at that moment there was no comment with respect to this issue.)

Regarding the calendar of protest activities in the streets in a civil and Pacific manner, Rogelio Cruz reported that this Wednesday at 10 AM they would be taking part in a protest march together with the Bishop of La Vega, Monsignor Antonio Camilo; on Thursday they would be in Moca and on Friday they would be in San Francisco de Macoris.

Today's activity is organized by the bishops office of La Vega, the Vega Real Savings Cooperative, the ADP and popular groups.
