Protests continue in the Dominican Republic due to the massive power outage that left the entire country without electricity and paralyzed essential services. Public outrage was expressed by burning tires and blocking streets in various areas. The power failure severely affected hospitals, banks, small businesses, and thousands of homes, also causing traffic to grind to a halt on all roads and interrupting the water supply. According to the minister of energy and mines, Joel Santos, the incident was caused by a failure that ended up affecting the entire system, creating what is known as a blackout, and confirmed that the national government is working to gradually restore electricity service.
