According to their explanation, they now intend to intervene only one kilometer, which they consider a breach of the commitment made to the community.\n\nThe road represents a vital connection for more than 20 thousand people and is key to the economic boost of the Monte Plata province. Through this route, productive communities such as La Gu\u00e1zuma, Loma de la Gallina, Corozo, La Jag\u00fcita, Pens\u00f3n, Bohuco Colorao and El Mate are linked, areas recognized for the production of organic export cocoa, bananas and other agricultural products.\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>You can read: <a href=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/nacionales\/gobierno-entrega-destacamento\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Government delivers police detachment in La Guazuma<\/a><\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\nFarmers warned that every time it rains, the overflow of the Ozama River isolates the community, generating economic losses, increasing the cost of transporting goods, and causing frequent damage to vehicles.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Here we live off agricultural work. Without a road, there is no development. We are only asking for what has already been approved to be fulfilled: the full 5 kilometers,&#8221; expressed several of the protesters.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe community members also recalled that President Luis Abinader has known about the situation of this road since before assuming the government, which is why they appeal to his direct intervention so that the work can be resumed and completed.\n\nAlthough they reiterated their willingness to dialogue, they warned that, if they do not receive a concrete response, they will continue to hold peaceful protests until the right to development of this historically forgotten community is respected.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By: Jonatan Contreras<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"601597\" src=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-01-29-at-5.00.17-PM-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-601597\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monte Plata. \u2014 With signs in hand and peacefully, community members, farmers, and social leaders from La Gu\u00e1zuma raised their voices this Thursday to demand the complete completion of the 5 kilometers of the La Melliza\u2013La Gu\u00e1zuma road, a project that was approved, started, and then stopped without a clear official explanation.
