The Other Fair will take place at Parque Duarte this weekend, on Calle Padre Billini in the Colonial Zone. The event is a takeoff on the "10 Years of the Vision of President Leonel Fernandez" fair that was held earlier this month on the grounds of the Feria Ganadera. That event consisted of government department pavilions showcasing what the government perceived as achievements in the first two years of the current term and from President Leonel Fernandez' 1996-2000 government.
Guillermo Pena, one of the alternative fair organizers, said that the event is not a political one, and is held to present the reality the nation is experiencing. He said that during the Hipolito Mejia government, the same group organized the "Ya esta bueno ya" protest.
The activity aims to show the serious problems affecting the country, including government corruption and the lack of public services.
