New York.- The Green March and its affiliates in Long Island, Queens and Brooklyn on Thurs. announced a picket against president Danilo Medina in front of UN headquarters next Tuesday, when the Dominican leader is set to speak before the General Assembly.

“The world must know that Punta Catalina is a power plant that pollutes the environment, in addition to the overvaluation of that work which the Odebrecht construction company is building,” she said.
Batista added that the picketers will demand Odebrecht’s expulsion from Dominican territory and punishment for the officials bribed by the Brazilian company. “Danilo Medina is an illegitimate president product of the bribery and blackmail of that company, which financed his campaign.”
