A coalition of community groups led by FALPO have decided to lift the strike in the northeastern province of San Francisco de Macoris, which has left a toll of at least two fatalities and more than 20 injured according to reports given to El Caribe. FALPO spokesman Raul Monegro and Felabel's Jose Martinez said that after a long meeting they decided to lift the protests on the condition that a commission from Santo Domingo arrives in the city next Wednesday. They hope that the commission will include ministers Victor Diaz Rua (Public Works), Josefina Pimentel (Education) and Cesar Pina Toribio (Presidency). The spokesmen said that they were suspending their protest to give the government a chance to provide concrete answers to their demands by the end of the month. The groups also asked the National Police commander for the agents who fired the shots that killed two people and wounded several others to be taken into custody and sent to trial.
