Social protests and strikes in Dominican Republic

Overview

The 24-hour strike organized by the Frente Amplio de Lucha Popular (FALPO) and other social movements in Salcedo has concluded, returning the Hermanas Mirabal province to normalcy. The protest saw significant participation from the commercial sector, with reports indicating that between 80% and 90% of businesses were closed.

Demonstrators maintained their demands for government action regarding deteriorating schools, the construction of a bridge to Las Caobas, and the completion of road projects including the Palmarito-Salcedo-Cruce de Maguey highway and the Gaspar Hernández-Tenares route. They also sought improvements to sanitation systems in Tenares and asphalt paving in various local sectors.

Governor Lissette Nicasio de Adames reiterated that the government is actively fulfilling commitments to the province, citing ongoing works in El Corozal, Ojo de Agua, and the Tenares-Salcedo road. Although the strike has ended, organizers have warned they may call for a new protest within 15 days if their demands remain unmet. Local leaders are currently coordinating meetings with ministers and authorities to discuss the requested infrastructure and social works.
