Minister urges buyer to accept repayment

[NewsWhore]

Environment Minister Jaime David Fernandez Mirabal is urging the businessman who bought the extensive area across the street from the Tabacalera in Villa Gonzalez, to accept the refund of his money in order to resolve the situation amicably. The area was in the news as one reporter took statements made by the man as a warning that there were very large snakes in the area. Later on, the businessman, Alberto Garcia, told reporters from El Caribe that he was not referring to serpents of the slithering kind, but to people who were involved in the dispute over the use of the land he had purchased. Leading a day of tree planting, Fernandez Mirabal was accompanied by dozens of men and women from Villa Gonzalez. He said that the ideal solution would be for the buyer of the lands to accept the return of his money because it is a natural green area that is part of the tradition of Villa Gonzalez. According to El Nuevo Diario, the area is located across from the local church, and the local municipal council built a small park there some years ago. The minister was accompanied by Santiago Senator Francisco Dominguez Brito, Tobacco Institute director Adalberto Rosa, Cibao Ecological Society president Eduardo Rodriguez, Deputy Environment Minister Anibal Abreu and the ministry's provincial director Domingo Rodriguez, a noted ecologist. While Fernandez Mirabal was planting trees, the president of the opposition PRD party, businessman Andres Santos Taveras, a native of the town, accompanied the minister for a few moments.
