The Attorney General of the Republic, Radhames Jimenez Pena, has reached an agreement with the National Association of Hotels, Bars and Restaurants (Asonahores) to draw up some regulations that control the use of embargoes in the nation's tourist areas. According to Hoy newspaper, Pena said that he would instruct local prosecutors to prohibit embargoes from being carried out without the authorization of the Justice Department.
