Legislative activities in the Dominican Republic have focused on accountability and the management of national resources. Deputies Llaniris Espinal and Melina Sánchez presented management reports for the 2025-2026 period, detailing legislative initiatives, attendance, and work within various commissions such as public security and foreign relations.

In the Senate, discussions have shifted toward the distribution of funds recovered from corruption cases. Senator Alexis Espiritusanto advocated for these resources to be distributed nationwide rather than being limited to specific demarcations. Additionally, Senator Omar Fernández addressed the necessity for the National Congress to strengthen its oversight capabilities, noting that the current legislative composition presents challenges for the opposition in acting as a democratic counterweight during government examinations.
