Colombian President Gustavo Petro once again chose to provoke by publicly speaking out about the legalization of cocaine, a move he has made many times in the past.
This time, the leader of the Latin American country, in the middle of an emergency cabinet meeting, began to talk about the process of legalizing the most widespread drug on the planet.
Specifically, Petro noted that cocaine is not legalized because "it is produced in Latin America" and went on to compare it to alcohol, emphasizing that "cocaine does no more harm than whiskey . "
Petro, Colombia's first president to come from the center-left, declared in his first speech as President that "the war on drugs has been lost" and announced a series of measures for coca growers.
According to the country's president, cultivation concerns more than 110,000 farming families, who have been unnecessarily stigmatized, as the leaves of the plant from which the drug is produced are also used to produce chemical fertilizers. (A2 Televizion)
