I've written before about the clusterfuck that descends on Cabarete for Semana Santa. it can be fun but can just as easily get out of control.

Most Cabarete residents close their doors on the Thursday and don't venture out until the mayhem is over on the Monday.
Well it seems the govt under the guise of the Ministry of Tourism have decided that all activities in Cabarete over Semana Santa will be severely curtailed or not allowed.
This includes no permits for sound stages on the beach, hence no live music concerts, no licences for street or beach vendors selling food or trinkets and the bars must close at 3am.
We had a mini huelga last Friday night

Today there is currently another huelga going off in the center of town right now, burning tires, throwing rocks, calling for the head of our friend Lorenzo Sancassini, and best of all the policia using tear gas.
There have been a number of tourists affected by the tear gas.
Good job Lorenzo
