Yesterday PRSC presidential candidate Amable Aristy Castro held a march in La Cienaga part of Santo Domingo and handed out RD$500, RD$100, RD$50 and RD$20 bills to those who attended. The candidate also gave away 5,000 frozen chickens to those who attended the rally and baskets with baby goods for pregnant mothers. Diario Libre reports that Aristy avoided being filmed by TV cameras while handing out the money. Diario Libre reports that a child was almost crushed when falling between two vehicles as the mother pushed her way through to reach Aristy for the cash, a cameraman had his video camera stolen, a journalist had his recorder stolen, and the frenzied crowd almost became violent as they clamored to get as much money as they could.
