Judicial Showdown: Dominican judges are escalating a long-simmering institutional fight into a national strike planned for 21 May, with roughly half of working judges signing a manifesto demanding structural changes and exposing a split between ordinary magistrates and the judiciary’s top leadership. Public Safety & Daily Life: The government rolled back a senior-driver rule—licenses for people over 65 are back to four-year validity after courts challenged the two-year renewal requirement. Health Leadership: Health Minister Víctor Atallah is set to preside over the 79th World Health Assembly, a first for the DR, as Amnesty warns the country must match that global role with non-discriminatory access to care. Economy & Mobility: Arajet keeps expanding—its 15th Boeing 737 MAX (“Isla Catalina”) is received as the airline pushes more regional connectivity, while motorcycle imports surged to 103,774 in early 2026, underscoring fast-changing street risk. Real Estate Rules: A proposed national licensing framework for real estate agents and agencies is moving forward, aiming to curb unlicensed brokerage and misleading advertising.
