The drug cartels have invaded Bolivia, the country that supplies them with raw materials and semi-manufactured cocaine so that it can be transformed into the “white goddess” and go out into the world, urbit et orbit.
A government report admits that Brazilian cartels are hell-bent on entering the country, but does not mention them in detail. Brazilian journalism knows that it is about the First Capital Command, the Third Capital Command, the Red Command and La Familia.
And other cartels that have emerged in the 560 favelas of Rio de Janeiro and the 500 of Sao Paulo.
Some of them have invaded Bolivian territory so as not to depend on the imponderables to which the Bolivian coca growers unions are subjected, which have committed the worst of sins: they have political commitments.
For a mafia, political commitment is a useless expense. Mafiosos prefer not to finance political parties because they end up being very expensive. The parties that depend on the mafias are like takeovers, with increasing costs. In the accounting of mafias, the Bolivian example is instructive. The party that has grown accustomed to suckling on the breast of the mafias is incorrigible. Don’t let the boob out.
What has just become known is that the dissidents of the FARC of Colombia operate in more than one national park in Bolivia, such as Amboró or Noel Kempff, where a policeman was killed last week.
In Amboró they have made so much progress that they turned a clandestine runway into a virtual international airport, which even has duty free and more than one restaurant.
These cartels, Brazilian and Colombian, operate in the connection of drugs to Europe, through contacts with Italian mafia.
And there are the Mexican cartels, which operate in the connection that carries drugs to the United States, for which they use the Chapare-Venezuela-Cuba route, inaugurated by the Morales-Chávez duo, who even set up an airlift to carry drugs. even in military aircraft of both countries.
The problem with this connection is that it must also bring drugs from northern Peru, Colombia and Venezuela to a consumer market in deep depression.
Americans have become accustomed to using newer drugs, such as amphetamines, which they can make at home with items purchased at pharmacies.
Cocaine is an old-fashioned, obsolete drug, and it has been replaced by more modern ones, which go better with today’s music.
They are trends, they are fashions. And, in this case too, the customer is always right.
