Vice President Rafael Alburquerque greeted the halt to the 12-hour strike. He said that there was more to be gained through dialogue and agreements than by strikes.
Regarding the accusation by the FSA that the nationwide blackout on Wednesday was a ploy by the new CDEEE administrator Celso Marranzini to facilitate the privatization of the electricity sector, the Vice President rejected the idea. He attributed the general blackout to a technical problem.
On the "pilgrims"that are marching on foot from Moca to Santo Domingo, Alburquerque said that everyone has the right to protest for their communities' needs. He said that the government is working and gradually solving the most important problems.
