Monumento a los Héroes 30 de Mayo a punto de colapsar

Santo Domingo.-The monument to the Heroes of May 30will be restored to preserve the historical memory of the men who eliminated the dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujilloinformed this Monday the director of Patria Ephemerides, Juan Pablo Uribe.

He admitted that the work of the audit of the painter Silvano Lora is deteriorated and in very bad condition, to the extent that in the activity that was held today in the place on the occasion of the 61st anniversary of the tyrant’s execution, municipal police prevented visitors from approach the monument, because a person who claims to have the copyright is demanding eight million pesos from the National District council to allow the work to be restored.

Uribe said that Efemérides Patria is not part of the case, “because we do not have a budget to rebuild works and if they did, we would have already started the work,” because the monument is transcendental since it symbolizes the action of a group of men who put end to a 31-year dictatorship.

In the same act held at the Monument to the Heroes of May 30, on the May 30 highway where on a day like today at 9:45 at night, on May 30, 1961, a group of men executed Rafael Leonidas Trujillo.
