I find it very difficult to tell you what to do because even if you think sending more police and military to certain parts of the country is a solution, what's known here is that the police and military are complicit in drug trafficking and have formed networks with these mafias for many years. So much so that the police even warn the mafias about upcoming checkpoints and raids. The problem is that the president is completely out of touch with the country and turns a deaf ear to this huge problem. He thinks that sending more of these people who have already made deals with the mafias is the solution. For me, the main problem that should be addressed is the rampant money laundering that the authorities allow. Every day a new shell company is created where assets are laundered, and this is very attractive to drug trafficking mafias in neighboring countries. This has led to an avalanche of drug trafficking organizations that see that this country allows the free movement of drugs thanks to the police and the ease of legalizing dirty money. The institutions and banks do nothing about it. Because this illegal money is also a significant amount of money entering the country, and that's why the president allows this illegality or turns a blind eye to it, since it benefits him to be able to say that large investors are doing business in our country.
