Flooding Protest in Álamo I: Residents Demand Action from Obras Públicas
Residents of the Álamo I sector in Santo Domingo Oeste staged a protest on June 5th, 2025, due to severe flooding caused by a nearby construction company. The flooding has been a persistent problem for over two decades, damaging homes and impacting the quality of life for residents. One resident stated, "We need assistance because when it rains, we have chaos here; we can't enter or leave the sector because everything is flooded." Another resident highlighted that eight residences have been affected by the water's inability to flow freely due to the construction. The residents warn of further protests if the authorities fail to address the situation. The video underscores the residents' frustration and the urgent need for a solution from Obras Públicas.
