Art. #196, Adrian Beltré and the children’s school

Adrian Beltré, the Mayor League baseball player, is not an angel. He is an evil person who has made use of the money he makes in the Mayor Leagues to possess a whole block that had been assigned in Costa Verde, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, to build a school for children of 6 communities around Costa Verde, Kilometer 12, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

His house has been built on a lot originally assigned to a school for about 8,000 children from the 6 neighborhoods that actually have very precarious schools. According to the lot plan officially approved by different governments of the Dominican Republic, this school was supposed to be built on this lot.

The address of this lot is located in 1st street and 3rd street, Costa Verde, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. This is the address where Mr. Beltré has built his mansion which took over the whole block.

A real Babylonian palace has been built by Mr. Beltré on this lot. This includes hanging yards of a height of more than 4 meters.

Everything is illegally made in Mr. Beltré mansion.

Can you imagine taking over a whole block that originally was assigned for building a school for the children of Costa Verde and its 6 boundary communities to construct a private house?

To do this, all the money of the Big League ran in the Reserves Bank, the Bank Administration of the Reserves Bank, other government agencies and some leaders of the communities around Costa Verde.

Several senior persons of the communities tried to stop this felony but finally they gave up saying, “the Mayor League money has beaten all of us. No one can defy that money”.

Now children in Costa Verde and its neighbors will never have the school their parents dreamed for them unless somebody helps them.

About 8,000 children from 6 communities have been affected because of the ambition of Adrian Beltré, the Mayor League baseball player.

Everybody that bought a piece of land to build his/her house acquired this land counting that on the block the government was going to build a school. However, today many commuters are abandoning Costa Verde due to the fact that Mr. Beltré has built his mansion.

A real Babylonian palace has been built by Mr. Beltré on this block that was supposed to belong to the children of Costa Verde and its neighbors.

In addition, with all of the Mayor League money, Mr. Beltré has built a fence around his palace of about 4 meters height. This is also a violation of the Secretary of Construction in the Dominican Republic which specifies that no one can make a construction higher than one meter height in that area.

But *”Morocotas defeated or overpower pennies”, one of the Costa Verde commuters who prefers to remain in anonymity said.

*Morocotas is a gold currency that is no useful anymore in the Dominican Republic. They used to have an enormous value a long time ago because it was made of gold.

This is unbelievable, but such a thing only happens in the Dominican Republic.

The appetite for corruption of Adrian Beltré is something unimaginable. In addition that he bought several houses, all of them in Costa Verde, he acquired the common lot left for the children of several communities to build their school.

In one occasion a group of senior citizens started collecting signatures to build in this lot, where the children’s school was supposed to be built, a tally dedicated to all baseball players who lived and grew up in the neighborhood of Kilometer 12, Costa Verde. Finally, they had to give up due to the pressure on them caused by the authorities of the Reserves Bank of the Dominican Republic. The tally was supposed to be part of the children’s school.

For many years, the communities of Costa Verde waited anxiously for that school. But what they never knew was that the whole block to build the school was part of the ambitious plans of the Dominican politicians and their cronies.

Several persons and institutions had plans to acquire this lot. They had the same ambitions. As soon as these persons and institutions knew about the future of the block, they rejected the idea of buying the site.

But finally the ambitions of a baseball player and his money prevailed upon the original idea that was: to leave intact the whole block to build the school for the children.

As time the commuters waited for the school to be built, they preferred to leave this block as a space where children and neighbors could play several sports.

Some others who live in the neighborhood enjoyed eating different varieties of fruits such as mangoes, coconuts, cashews, oranges, guavas, lemon, pomegranates and other tropical and delicious fruits, which grow on this land.

Here I have some questions:

Where is the children’s school?

What are the actual and future governments of the Dominican Republic going to do about this case?

What can Adrián Beltré, the Mayor League baseball player, do about this school?

Why such a thing happens in the Dominican Republic?
