Marranzini slams "vandals"

[NewsWhore]

Some called it civil disobedience, but State-owned Electricity Companies (CDEEE) vice president Celso Marranzini is not mincing his words, describing it as vandalism. The CDEEE VP was referring to an act that occurred in the San Jose de La Mina sector in Santiago, where residents tore out their electricity meters in protest against prolonged blackouts and bad service. In all, 400 meters were torn down, but Marranzini has no plans to put the meters back, saying that any damage to state property must be paid for. He added that if the sector of San Jose stays without power that will fine, stating that he would not reward their actions by giving them power. This is a hard-line stance from Marranzini, who has been given the unenviable task of turning the tide in the DR's beleaguered energy sector.
