Two construction companies and a union official said yesterday that the government should not halt the construction of the Metro 2 line in Santo Domingo.

The president of the Dominican Chamber of Construction Companies, Diego de Moya, builder Cristian Maluf and union boss Rafael Abreu agreed on the evident slowing of the Metro construction.

He wondered about the source of the funds that the government is transferring to the metro construction.
