Colmadones curfew kept

[NewsWhore]

Colmadones and gas stations, the neighborhood grocery stores turned into outdoor pubs and beer parlors, are not on the list of businesses allowed to sell alcoholic beverage for extended hours during the Christmas holidays. Interior & Police Minister Franklin Almeyda Rancier said that Police and Metropolitan Transport Authorities (AMET) and ministry inspectors will be enforcing the measure by ensuring that colmadones keep to the present schedule for selling alcohol - Sunday to Thursday, closing at 12am, and Friday through Saturday night, and holidays closing at 2am. He said a recent Gallup poll showed most Dominicans favored the continuation of the curfew. During the Christmas holidays, the Ministry of Interior & Police announced that closing times would be relaxed for indoor drinking establishments.
