Local tensions have emerged in Jarabacoa, La Vega, involving different community grievances. Neighborhood association leaders held a protest regarding the alleged illegal occupation of a communal building on Avenida General Norberto Riburcio. Protesters claim the facility, originally deeded to two separate community organizations, is being held under the exclusive control of a single individual, preventing the other rightful owner from accessing the space.

Separately, local musicians and artists have expressed dissatisfaction over being excluded from public events organized by businessman Luis Medrano. Performers allege that these shows generate economic benefits for organizers while bypassing local talent. The artists have called for investigations into whether these events are operating with the necessary legal permits and tax compliance.
