Monday, 16 August is a holiday in the DR. It commemorates Restoration Day, the day in 1863 when the Dominican flag was hoisted in Dajabon, in a call for nationals to restore independence from Spain. A two-year war followed, and independence was secured on 11 July 1865, with the departure of Spanish troops.
It also marks the start of new governments in the DR. This year it marks the opening of the new legislative session following the May congressional and municipal elections. DR1 Daily News will not be updated on Monday. News will be compiled and published in the Tuesday edition.
