The 27 of February Independence Parade is on. Despite yesterday's news report that the parade had been suspended, the Ministry of the Armed Forces says that the parade is going ahead as planned and promises to be one of the best ever. The news story had indicated that the parade was being canceled in the wake of the recent accusations against high-ranking army members in the Dominican Republic, following several crimes where they are alleged to have played leading roles.
The Friday, 27 February parade will commemorate the 165th anniversary of Dominican Independence. The parade will begin at 3pm on the Malecon (Av. George Washington). An Air Force Squad is coming from Brazil to show off the prowess of the Tucano airplanes that the Dominican government recently spent millions on purchasing.
The military parade will follow the 10am morning state of the nation address of President Leonel Fernandez to the nation from the seat of Congress.
