The president of the Dominican Olympic Committee has expressed his opposition to the construction of new multi-sports installations in the Dominican Republic.

"We are urging for maintenance of the ones that we have, as of the multi-sport courts, which surely will be for the benefit of sports," he told El Caribe in an interview.

The young voter segment of the population is lagging, according to polls.
