Bolivia, narco-state whose foreign policy defends drug trafficking

The boss of coca farmers, Evo Morales, has turned Bolivia into a narco state with its illegal coca and cocaine trade unions as a political base, increasing coca and cocaine cultivation by more than two thousand percent, the expulsion of cooperation in the fight against drugs. and the US ambbadador, the official drug trafficking on the orbit of Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, concealment and impunity. A "foreign policy" based on the principle that "the fight against drug trafficking and terrorism are creations of US imperialism to oppress peoples". Bolivia is today a narco-state whose foreign policy defends drug trafficking.

Foreign policy is "that part of the overall policy formed by all the decisions and actions that define the objectives and means of a state are used to generate, modify or suspend relations with other actors of the state. the international society ". This is evident in "all public decisions taken by the government of a state based on national interests and in relation to other actors in the international system of a country". The head of state is the maximum representative of foreign policy.

The term" narco-state it applies to countries whose institutions are heavily influenced by drug trafficking and whose leaders simultaneously exercise the functions of government officials and members of illegal narcotics networks, protected by their legal powers. "narco-politics"it is" the political activity in which state institutions are heavily influenced by drug trafficking ".

Evo Morales He has come to the presidency of the Republic of Bolivia with a mandate that can not be re-elected before 5 years. He stays for 13 years and puts the Castro-Chavista Ritual dictatorships that simulate democracy to force their indefinite reelection, repeating the actions of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela and Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua. Morales' political career is characterized by the violent defense of the illegal coca crop, which is converted into a political mobilization of coca growers and cocaine-based dough from the "Chapare", a tropical area in the Cochabamba department.

Only the outbreak of castro-chavismo as a transnational project originally called "Bolivarian movement" or "dawn" then the 21st century socialism made possible the empowerment of Morales who underwent the overthrow of democratic government in October 2003 and the falsification of the constitutional reform in 2004.

Morales and its coca growers were defeated by the reduction of 50,000 hectares of illegal coca in 1994 to only 3,000 hectares in 2003, resulting in a reduction in cocaine production and the withdrawal of Bolivia from the big mafias of drug trafficking. . But today in Bolivia, there are about 60,000 hectares of illegal coca fields and Morales also promulgated a law that increases legal coca crops from 12,000 to 22,000 hectares, when reports from the UN and the European Union certify that Bolivia only needs 6,000 hectares of coca for legal consumption.

In its drug trafficking policy, Morales expelled the US ambbadador and the DEA's anti-drug agency, unilaterally breaching international agreements and avoiding any serious inspections. At the United Nations in 2016 and 2018, Morales defined as a foreign policy the principle that "the fight against drug trafficking and terrorism is an invention of the United States to enslave the peoples" and that "the United States uses the anti-drug policy to intervene in countries ". He just ratified it at the United Nations meeting in Vienna – while defending the dictator Maduro of Venezuela – placing his defense of drug trafficking at the center of his foreign policy.

Bolivia with Evo Morales is expressly designated narco-state since 2008 by the Times award-winning journalist Jean Friedaman-Rudovsky, for his investigative work of journalist Gerardo Reyes of Univision 2011, by Ghost Recon Wildlands, the game video in which Bolivia is presented as a narco-state (the UK's best-selling 2017), by journalist Leonardo Coutinho 2018 in his book on Hugo Chavez and the "cocaine bridge" as official cocaine trafficking between the Caracas regime and Morales himself, and more.

Argentina, Brazil and Chile have stepped up counter-narcotics measures at their borders with Bolivia in the face of drug-related aggression from the state of Evo Morales. Venezuela has become the focus of drug trafficking with FARC and ELN Colombia and coca-cocaine from Bolivia. Drug use in Bolivia is overflowing and Morales continues to use the rhetoric that there will be drugs as long as there is consumption.
