A military contingent interrupted a march led by lawyer Pedro Catrain, the candidate for Dominicans for Change (D x C, No. 26) in the first district on the National District, from the controversial Atiemar Tower to the Funglode headquarters yesterday. The Atiemar Tower was symbolically inaugurated by President Leonel Fernandez, most of the financing was provided by the governmental Banco de Reservas, and Funglode is President Fernandez's university and think tank.
Catrain had announced he would end his political campaign with the march, but the military personnel blocked the participants at the moment when a group of Catrain's followers were entering the Capitain Eugenio de Marchena Street where Funglode is located.
Catrain said that this was the first time that the military had acted in favor of the government's campaign.
