VIDEO – ONLY SOLUTION TO REDUCE OVERDOSE DEATHS –
Sept. 21, 2022 – In his speech before the UN’s General Assembly, Petro said definitively that the “War on Drugs has failed,” according to a translation. He added that another one million Latin Americans will die as a consequence of this policy, and that “they will fill our lives with blood.”
“The War on Drugs has lasted 40 years. If we do not correct the course, and this continues another 40 years, the United States will see 2.8 million die of overdoses [from fentanyl], which is not produced in our Latin America,” he said. “You will see millions of African Americans be imprisoned in their private prisons. The [Black] prisoner will become a business of prison companies.”
