04/03/2010 | Bolivia accuses U.S. of using drug fight to subdue L.American govnts

Xinhuanet Staff

Bolivian President Evo Morales said Wednesday that the U.S. government uses the fight against drug trafficking to "politically subdue" Latin American governments and establish its hegemony in the region.

 

"For the United States, the anti-drug fight is a tool of political control over the countries," Morales said. "It is only a tool for realizing its hegemonic goals or expressing the discredit of the governments, including Bolivia, which actually has declared a real fight against drug trafficking."

Morales also oppugned the intentions of the United States of conducting cooperation with and sending military troops to some countries in the region, under the pretext of fighting drug trafficking and terrorism.

He reaffirmed his objection to the recent report of the U.S. Department of State where Bolivia was discredited in the fight against drugs.

"It is clear that the U.S. veto on Bolivia is for political reasons," Morales added.

He said that during his administration the number of anti-drug operations increased from 28,219 in 2000 to 42,928 in 2005, during which the cocaine seizure went up from 48 tons to 91 tons.

The U.S. yearly report on the drug trafficking combat said Bolivia and Venezuela failed do enough in this regard in 2009.
