The District Attorney for the National District said yesterday that the office would be taking action against prostitution in the Gazcue sector of the city where residents have been complaining of immoral activities.
Alejandro Moscoso Segarra told Diario Libre that although it was not possible to eliminate prostitution altogether, they would take action to reduce it, especially in response to complaints involving 20 hotels that are in fact brothels.
The Santo Domingo Hotel Association has also complained about this issue. Association president Roberto Henriquez said that they are being besieged by prostitution and that each night they have to turn away between five and eight clients in order to prevent this practice in their properties.
Gazcue residents protested at the District Attorney's office, after a similar event held outside the National District City Hall, where they presented another series of problems that affect the community. Their concerns included dark streets, sidewalks full of garbage, the presence of brothels, public offices and rowdy corner markets that degrade the neighborhood.
The protest was led by Huberto Henriquez and supported by city council members from the PRD, represented by Cesar Cabrera, Waldy Taveras and Consuelo Despradel. The residents of Gazcue accused the city government of not complying with the laws. The group traveled in a bus called "Tours de Protesta de la Comunidad de Gazcue".
