SANTO DOMINGO- President Luis Abinader inaugurated 200 apartments in Guajimía this Sunday, with an initial investment of 50 million dollars, which are part of the definitive stormwater and sanitation plan for 5.4 kilometers of the Guajimía ravine, located in the western area of Santo Domingo.
In a few brief remarks, the president stated that in this government resources are allocated to priorities and managed honestly, while affirming that much is accomplished with little.
He assured that those who defame the government with a lie will be met with three truths.
