El exalcalde del municipio turístico de Las Terrenas, Alex Garcías, cuestionó las medidas implementadas por el Ministerio de Interior y Policía durante el asueto de Semana Santa en esta importante zona del país.

Garcías también criticó la falta de respuesta y toma de decisiones por parte de la Alcaldía Municipal, señalando que la situación refleja una ausencia de autoridad ante los retos que enfrenta el destino turístico.

El exfuncionario aseguró que, durante su gestión, “ese tipo de desorden no se hubiese permitido”, destacando que Las Terrenas requiere una administración firme y coordinada para garantizar el orden y la seguridad, especialmente en temporadas de alta afluencia de visitantes.

Asimismo, señaló que estas medidas podrían perjudicar al municipio, ya que muchas personas optarían por no visitarlo, lo que impactaría negativamente la economía local.

En ese mismo sentido, afirmó que la mayoría de los negocios se encuentran prácticamente vacíos, evidenciando una baja considerable en la actividad comercial durante el asueto.

Garcías también cuestionó la prohibición de las fiestas que habitualmente se celebraban en el municipio, indicando que estas actividades pueden realizarse de manera organizada y segura, sin necesidad de ser totalmente prohibidas, ya que forman parte del atractivo turístico de la zona.
