juelga update

This sign is at the bottom of the road leading to Los Higos. It's is advertising the government's promise to improve the road. The top of the sign says 'Progress is coming through firm steps' and on the left of the sign is the PLD's (Dominican Liberation Party) slogan, 'It's forward that we are going'.

During the riot (about a month ago now), the rioters burnt a hole in the sign, which I think is the most appropriate thing they did. Anyway, it seems that the riot didn't make much of a difference- it doesn't appear that the government paid attention. Some of the holes in the road have been filled, but I think that the people themselves did it.
