Busts are up. The end user, the US and Europe mainly, are still receiving their drugs but not because of Morales but because US puppet state Colombia and Peru have increased their production.
Not blaming Morales for being the ORIGIN of the problem. Blaming him for clearly SUPPORTING it, instead of fighting it.
There are two evidences, Magda.
First was the increasing amount of cocaine catched. I allready explain that point in my previous post.
Second is the allegated decrease in coca crops land. In that point, we have only to relay in government informs, that has showed not to be reliables. And there is no way to compare, only blindly believe with faith what FELNC report, since DEA was formerly making the satellital measurements of areas covered by coca crops and areas erradicated and not anymore. FELNC is not a reliable source, since is under total control of government and, as many other governamental dependencies, is allegated to tailor informs according government interests.
Anyway, what the citizen see when travel thru Chapare sanctuary and other regions, is very different that FELNC reports.
Bolivian cocaine is not going to USA anymore, coz seems that passing thru Colombia is very difficult and dangerous for them now (is very difficult for trafficant plane to ellude colombian territory in the way to USA). Cocaine now is travelling to Europe but mostly, to Brazil (and Argentina in less quantities), due Brazil economic blooming.
Brazil is desesperatly offering to Bolivia a bunch of helicopters (as a gift) to be used by bolivians to control traffiking and delinquency in his frontier.
Also, has deployed SIVAM planes, helicopters,special police forces and Tucanos squadrons in his side trying to control his large jungle frontier with Bolivia, spending a lot of money. Big, big trouble.
