Local authorities face tension over noise from public events

Local authorities are facing scrutiny regarding the balance between organizing public outdoor events and protecting the rights of citizens and business owners to peace and quiet. In some areas, the rise of unregulated nightlife, characterized by loud music and crowds, has led to noise levels that exceed legal limits, as noted by Arpac's phonometric measurements.

Business owners in historic centers report that unmanaged gatherings, noise, and lack of controls create a climate of disorder. This environment can deter families and quiet clientele, potentially forcing local merchants to cut costs or face job losses during the peak tourist season.
