Dominican Republic political and media critiques

Overview

Sociologist and communicator Juan Cruz Triffolio has issued critiques regarding the political and social landscape in the Dominican Republic.

Initially, Triffolio used the folk legend of ‘Checheré’ as a metaphor to criticize the administration of President Luis Abinader Corona. He argued that the current governance model suffers from systemic issues, including improvisation and rising debt, which require more substantive action rather than mere promises.

His critique subsequently expanded to address the relationship between the political class and the media. Triffolio described a “political-media endogamy,” alleging a symbiotic alliance between political leaders and prominent journalists. He claimed this connection undermines journalistic integrity and truth, as certain media figures allegedly use their influence to protect political misconduct through silence and impunity.
