Ecuador is impressive due to the news it generated regarding the fact that crime was murdering freely in the country. But how do we walk around the house? Could it be that we are worse because organized crime has already taken over Bolivia? Therefore, they do not need to spread terror.

Not only has the country been taken over by the drug trafficking cartels, but they have their sanctuary which is the Chapare with “narco coca sovereignty”, it is a place where organized crime rules in the heart of Bolivia at a point that is Geostrategically it is the most important because from there you can control the vehicular flow to and from the main regions, of economic values ​​and of people who circulate. From that location in many aspects they control the country.

This situation is complemented by the urea or precursor factory and the airport, from which they can receive weapons or whatever and send cocaine in any quantity they want.

In the government of Evo Morales they certified their power, when it was reported that a UMOPAR patrol was captured and humiliated by coca growers drug traffickers with the argument that they had not asked for permission to operate in that area. How are you?

Some time ago, a few years ago, Carlos Valverde warned about the situation in Chapare and commented that the details are written in his work “Coca, territory, power and cocaine.” He maintains that “in Chapare, people who cause distrust are deported. In this region that includes several provinces of the department of Cochabamba, the law of the local inhabitants prevails and not that of the Plurinational State of Bolivia. People know that something bad, very bad happens in Chapare, it is not new, I am not discovering gunpowder,” he says.

We do not know that in Ecuador the organized crime encouraged by President Correa had appropriated part of the national territory, it is said that an area of ​​that country was a resting place for the Colombian Guerrilla.

Bolivia Is it in danger? Although it may seem pessimistic, the Bolivians equivalent to the Ecuadorian mafias have already taken over the country, they do not need to generate violence unless a division arises among them, like the one we are seeing, a product of the ambition of Evo Morales who wants to overthrow his former Minister of Finance , now president or to compete with him for the leadership of the MAS.

In Ecuador the Novoa Government has reacted, in Bolivia for different reasons the National Police is directly subordinated to the Executive Branch through the Minister of Government, where the figure of its General Commander is a screen, in the National Police an improvised civilian commands Faithfully fulfills the dictates of Whose? And the Armed Forces. They have to make the legally constituted government, that is, the MAS government, prevail.

It is necessary to eradicate cancer, the government of Cuba, which has metastasized a lot, there are already painful consequences, 8 and a half million Venezuelans begging for alms in the streets of various cities in the world, natives of the once richest country in Latin America, which It fell prey to destructive and impoverishing socialism.

In short, I propose the hypothesis that we are already in the hands of people like the one who generates violence in Ecuador, but in a more advanced state: They govern Bolivia.
