Dinner Table Daily

In a stark denunciation of the global drug trade, the President of Colombia condemned the international hypocrisy surrounding narcotics trafficking. He argued that while Colombia bears the violence, bloodshed, and institutional damage caused by the drug economy, the true beneficiaries—international traffickers and financial systems abroad—live safely and prosperously in wealthy cities. The president emphasized that corruption and money laundering operate on a global scale, while Colombian society is left to absorb the human cost. He concluded by calling for uncompromising integrity within state institutions, insisting that the fight against organized crime must begin with rooting out internal corruption rather than silencing those who expose it.

“Drug traffickers live in Dubai and Miami, and we marry them off in some cities in Colombia. They are from all over the world and not mostly Colombian, because here we are left with the sin and without the gender. The pain, the painful, smelly, and rotten dollars move in the world banking system and not in the Colombian banking system, and here the dollars don’t enter, but the blood and the weapons do, with which we continue killing each other like fools, while the others get rich and live comfortably among models on yachts near the city of Dubai, where not a single police officer arrives to capture them, while here we have to watch the police die daily trying to stop the gringos from putting more cocaine in their heads. And they don’t thank us, but it doesn’t matter, because we know that these big mafias killed many Colombians and are capable of destroying the police, the army, the Congress of the Republic, the ministries, and even the Presidency itself, just by putting bundles of cash on the desks. And that is why the greatest action of police counterintelligence is not like seeing how to trip up some inconvenient general because he denounces or some minister, but on the contrary it should be to thoroughly pursue every officer who sullies his uniform, his soul and his heart and cannot look his family in the face because.”
