The demonstration was convened through social networks under the motto "Take out your pot, cauldron or pan and hit it hard".

In several areas, the neighbors bet on the balconies of their apartments to express themselves in defense of democracy after the suspension of the elections on Sunday due to problems with automated voting.

The main protests gathered thousands of people before the headquarters of the Central Electoral Justice, where they come every day to demand changes in the political life of the Dominicans.
