The corruption is DR is a lot deeper than just having a protest or huelga to make the government change their ways. The corruption starts with the police on the street. When I lived down there I didn't trust them as far as I could throw them. These military people are greedy and for the right price will look the other way.

I have no idea what the solution would be. I haven't been down there in 7 years and I keep hearing all these horror stories about kidnappings and people being mugged in broad daylight. Its very sad.
