Since then, protesters have taken to the streets, demanding answers and raising concerns against the ruling party, which has been in power for over 18 years. For Dominicans, this is all part of a bigger historical precedent, and Alcántara has been on top of this story for Latino Rebels and Latino USA since the protests began.
