The composition of the Colombian government is the same as that of most parliamentary countries. It implements a presidential republic and follows the principle of separation of powers. The Congress is composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate, with a four-year term.
The current president is called Juotura, and he is a representative of the Liberal Party. As you can tell from the name, this party is pro-American. Of course, in fact, those who are not pro-American cannot get into the Colombian government, because those who are pro-Soviet are still fighting in the mountains. Guerrilla.
Although its stance is pro-American, in fact, the Liberal Party's rule will have no impact on Colombia, because what it was like in the past is what it is now.
In the past, the Liberal Party was able to win the election mainly because its campaign slogans were very attractive. They said they would develop the economy, eradicate poverty, provide medical security, etc., and the most important thing was to crack down on drug trafficking organizations. However, after coming to power, the Liberal Party opened the market to American enterprises, but the economic development is still the same, the hospital promised to be built for the citizens is still a wasteland, and most importantly, the so-called crackdown on drug dealers has turned into officials and drug dealers being brothers, and even staying up all night in nightclubs.
Therefore, the public's support for the Liberal Party has plummeted. If nothing unexpected happens, the Liberal Party will be completely defeated in the next general election.
Of course, as a powerful political party, the Liberal Party is not all freeloaders. Although a considerable number of people are good brothers of drug lords, there are also some who are staunch anti-drug factions. They refuse bribes, ignore threats, and unswervingly implement His own anti-narcotics policy is led by Colombia’s Minister of Justice and Minister of Interior.
The so-called organization of a new team is also proposed by the Minister of Justice!
Before the Americans intervened, the Minister of Justice organized many searches and raids against drug dealers, but all of these operations failed without exception. It was not that the government troops and police were defeated, but that all operations failed without exception. All wasted.
The attorney general who came to meet with Shepard was smoking a cigar and shaking his head at the unsatisfactory police officers.
"How rampant are those drug dealers? They will report the name of everyone in the police station, their home address, and how many people they live in, and then stuff them with a bunch of money. They use both kindness and power. Some of them even act as the other party's eyes and ears. Once there is someone, Those guys will immediately reveal the military operations against them!"
"Then are there no people here who dare to confront drug dealers openly?"
Shepard took a sip of the slightly bitter coffee and asked.
"Yes, but them!"
The Minister of Justice shook his head, and then said in a rather helpless tone.
"I have many people like this under me, but unfortunately, some of them are dead, and some have been transferred to other positions by me. That's all I can do!"
"I see!"
Shepard nodded and said.
"Can you give me a list of these people? I think if they are really willing to fight drug dealers to the end, they will be happy to join!"
"It's natural. I'm ready. By the way, this is my security chief, named Russ! He is also one of them!"
While holding the document, the minister introduced a middle-aged man standing behind him. The man nodded slightly to Shepard, which was considered a greeting.
"Forget it about your security director! He still has to be responsible for protecting your safety!"
"My safety doesn't matter anymore. My family has been sent to the United States by me. This is why I dare to fight them to the end!"
After chatting with the Minister of Justice about the relevant demand standards and various other processes, Shepard went to meet with the Minister of the Interior, who directly managed the construction of the security team and was also a veteran of the battlefield.
Therefore, the Minister of the Interior also looked unhappy when he mentioned the stubborn problems in the team.
"This country simply does not have the courage and courage to wage a complete war with drug traffickers. Others think that as long as it looks stable, who cares what is behind the glamour?"
"Did you know that last year alone, a total of 420 police officers were killed in Colombia, and only a small number of them were fighting guerrillas?
Those who were killed in battle, and the remaining ones were all assassinated by drug dealers, just because they would seize drug trafficking vehicles and refuse bribes from drug dealers! "
While talking, the Minister of the Interior also threw out a newspaper, which contained a story about a massacre. A family of fourteen members died tragically at home overnight, and even the house was burned to the ground.
"This is a police lieutenant. He seized twenty kilograms of the drug dealer's goods, and then arrested the drug dealer who came to bribe him. This completely pissed him off. Then, they sent out killers to kill all the men in his family, and then The women all had sex and then dragged their naked bodies behind the car and paraded them around the streets. The lieutenant had his eyes gouged out and his limbs broken, and those guys did it all in front of him!"
The Minister of the Interior said through gritted teeth.
Even this incident happened to the lieutenant on the night he had just received the medal awarded by the minister. The medal awarded to him by the minister was wiped clean afterwards and hung on the burnt corpse, so naked. Provocation, but the minister had nothing to do.
He sent people to try to find out the truth, and the drug lord was very cooperative, letting his people go wherever he wanted to investigate, but nothing was found, and all clues were wiped out. Even afterward, in order to make a deal, he also To give an explanation to the minister, the drug dealers even took the initiative to send two so-called murderers, both young men in their twenties whose families were too poor to make ends meet, to stand up and take the blame for the drug lord's money!
And the most disgusting thing is that these guys retracted their confessions on the spot in court, allowing the lawyers hired by the drug lords to fish them out intact!
There is nothing the government can do about such a rude move. After all, the salary paid by the government to its subordinates is not even more than one-tenth of what the drug lords reward them. Sticks and carrots are very effective. With this taming method, there seems to be no pure place in the entire Colombia, whether it is the police force or the military, they are involved!
After Shepard met with the two ministers, he also had a clear understanding of the difficulty of Shadow Company's current work, but he did not feel that there was any difficulty in it. After all, Colombians wanted to see the face of the drug lord. However, he didn't need to. If nothing else, just because of his identity as an American, even those agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration and Colombian drug lords would not dare to do anything excessive before completely breaking up.
"Then let's talk about expenses next!"
