The Magenta cemetery has experienced an escalation in vandalism and copper thefts. Recent incidents include the collapse of a large marble structure caused by thieves attempting to steal copper elements, resulting in damages estimated between 15,000 and 20,000 euros. This follows a previous event where vandals attempted to break into an offering box and left a human skull on an altar. Authorities report that organized groups are increasingly targeting memorial sites for metal, often causing structural damage that exceeds the value of the stolen materials.

Separately, residents in Magenta are protesting a proposed campus consisting of five data centers in the historic ex-Novaceta area. Local citizens have held demonstrations and collected nearly 1,800 signatures to voice concerns regarding environmental and urban impacts. The protest committee has submitted formal observations to the Territorial Government Plan to contest land consumption and has called for a regional moratorium on new data center developments.
