MEXICAANSE EX-PRESIDENT WIL DRUGS LEGALISEREN

De voormalige president van Mexico Vicente Fox heeft in zijn blog gezegd dat hij drugs in Mexico gelegaliseerd wil zien. Bepaalde wijken in Mexico gaan al jaren gebukt onder drugsgeweld. Zijn opvolger Calderon laat de deur op een kier.

Vicente Fox was president van Mexico van 2000 tot 2006. Tijdens zijn ambtstermijn concentreerde Fox zich vooral op de arrestatie van de bendeleiders. Die aanpak leidde volgens critici tot een machtsvacuüm, dat dan weer meer geweld veroorzaakte.

Sinds zijn opvolger Felipe Calderon in december 2006 aan de macht kwam, kwamen al ongeveer 28.000 mensen om het leven door gevechten tussen bendes onderling en tussen bendes en de Mexicaanse politie en het leger.

Een week geleden kwam het legaliseren van drugs ter sprake op een misdaadforum. Calderon liet de deur op een kier door te zeggen dat hij openstaat voor een debat. Hij voegde er wel meteen aan toe dat hij nog altijd tegen het idee van legalisering is.

Fox greep zijn kans en schreef zondag in zijn blog dat alleen de legalisering van drugs de macht van de drugskartels kan doorbreken. Fox benadrukt dat in landen die de legalisering hebben ingevoerd, er geen toename van drugsgebruik is.

“Mexicaanse regering neemt verantwoordelijkheid niet”

Fox, nochtans een partijgenoot van Calderon, schuwt de kritiek op het beleid van zijn opvolger niet. “De belangrijkste verantwoordelijkheid van een regering is om de veiligheid en de bezittingen van het volk te vrijwaren”, schrijft Fox. “Vandaag moeten we jammer genoeg vaststellen dat de Mexicaanse regering die verantwoordelijkheid niet vervult.”

Fox heeft ook kritiek op de maatregel om het leger in te zetten tegen de drugskartels. Volgens Fox zijn militairen niet opgeleid om de publieke veiligheid te garanderen.

“Drugs legaliseren, wil trouwens niet zeggen dat drugs goed zijn”, besluit Fox. “We moeten het als een strategie zien om de economische macht van de drugskartels te breken.”
