Justicia Social leaders in Jacagua took the decision to resign collectively on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, after denouncing the PRM non-compliance within the political alliance they sustained.
The departure of more than 15 leaders of the Justice Social Party (JS) in Jacagua, district of San Francisco de Jacagua, was defined as a formal and irrevocable action. In a document addressed to Julio César Valentín Jiminián, president of JS, the signatories expressed that their decision responds to a process of deep reflection and the growing pressure from community bases.
The leaders highlighted a generalized discontent caused by the repeated PRM non-compliance with established agreements, a situation that prevents them from continuing their support within the political coalition. In their words, “we feel powerless not being able to respond to the needs of our people”, which reflects the political and social fracture that this alliance faces.
Principal signatories and local scope
- John Deny Reyes Parra, district president
- Nelfi Polanco Báez, vice president
- Amparo Cabrera (Dulce), general secretary
- Prof. Plinio Vargas Sosa, candidate for councilor
- Eduardo Cepín Peralta, general coordinator
- Jonathan García Durán, propaganda officer
- Community leaders from areas such as Las Tres Cruces and Los Cocos, among others
In addition, the resigning parties expressed their gratitude for the opportunities within JS, but emphasized that their commitment to the community and political coherence obliges them to take this step.
Context and political relevance in the district
The PRM non-compliance in fundamental commitments with local allies represents a recurring problem in Dominican politics, where coalitions often face tensions due to unilateral decisions or lack of effective dialogue. In Jacagua, a district of Santiago, this rupture puts the governance and attention to urgent social demands at risk, leaving communities like Las Tres Cruces without solid representation.
Historically, the Justice Social Party has worked in alliance with the PRM to strengthen its political presence, but this collective resignation evidences a notable wear and tear of this relationship.
Implications for the Justice Social Party and the PRM
This episode could alter the local political balance, given that the abrupt departure of recognized leaders and sectoral coordinators affects the organic structure of JS and, by extension, the electoral and management strategy of the PRM in Jacagua. The lack of compliance with agreements not only hinders governance but also erodes trust between allied parties and citizens.
Impact on the community and perspectives
The resigning leaders emphasize that the decision attends “the best interests of our community”, reflecting a vision that prioritizes concrete responses to social demands over party or personal interests. The PRM non-compliance in its commitments has generated a political vacuum that could influence the next municipal elections and the citizens’ perception of the effectiveness of these groups.
In this sense, the PRM non-compliance not only represents a failure in the political alliance but also a challenge to local development and trust in Dominican political structures.
Ultimately, the collective resignation of Justicia Social leaders in Jacagua acquires relevance in evidencing the internal fractures and difficulties faced by local political alliances, where the PRM non-compliance emerges as a central factor in the rupture.
