Un informe presentado al Congreso por el presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, sobre el trabajo de la oficina de antinarc\u00f3ticos (DEA), describe un preocupante aumento de la producci\u00f3n de drogas il\u00edcitas en Venezuela, as\u00ed como del tr\u00e1nsito de las mismas a lo largo del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De acuerdo con el informe al que tuvo acceso El Tiempo, Nicol\u00e1s Maduro tiene adem\u00e1s una fuerte dependencia del dinero proveniente de la producci\u00f3n y el tr\u00e1fico de coca\u00edna para mantenerse en el poder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El informe sostiene que hay preocupaci\u00f3n en Washington por el aumento de los cultivos de drogas il\u00edcitas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLa creciente evidencia de cultivos de coca y producci\u00f3n de coca\u00edna en laboratorios dom\u00e9sticos de drogas sugiere que Venezuela es ahora un pa\u00eds productor de drogas il\u00edcitas, as\u00ed como un pa\u00eds de tr\u00e1nsito\u201d, dice el informe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De todas maneras, el Departamento de Estado afirma que Venezuela es a\u00fan b\u00e1sicamente una ruta importante para el tr\u00e1fico de drogas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEl r\u00e9gimen de Maduro \u2013sostiene el reporte\u2013 depende cada vez m\u00e1s de las rentas del narcotr\u00e1fico, junto con otras actividades il\u00edcitas, para mantener su control ileg\u00edtimo del poder. La falta de cooperaci\u00f3n en el control internacional de las drogas internacionales del r\u00e9gimen, la usurpaci\u00f3n del sistema judicial, militar y de los servicios de seguridad para fines il\u00edcitos, la corrupci\u00f3n p\u00fablica y la cooperaci\u00f3n con actores armados no estatales y elementos criminales proporcion\u00f3 las condiciones ideales para las operaciones de narcotr\u00e1fico y la violencia asociada\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La investigaci\u00f3n de la DEA concluye que las actividades de narcotr\u00e1fico le han permitido a Maduro una cooperaci\u00f3n \u201ccon actores armados no estatales y elementos criminales que proporcionan las condiciones ideales para las operaciones de narcotr\u00e1fico y la violencia asociada\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En 2005, el entonces presidente Hugo Ch\u00e1vez decidi\u00f3 expulsar a la DEA de Venezuela, con la acusaci\u00f3n de que su labor no era imprescindible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ch\u00e1vez adem\u00e1s denunci\u00f3 en su momento que la agencia norteamericana realizaba en el pa\u00eds tareas de espionaje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLa DEA estaba utilizando como m\u00e1scara la lucha contra el narcotr\u00e1fico para incluso apoyar al narcotr\u00e1fico, para hacer inteligencia en Venezuela contra el gobierno\u201d, afirm\u00f3 Ch\u00e1vez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En septiembre del a\u00f1o pasado, Estados Unidos hab\u00eda revelado en su memorando sobre pa\u00edses productores que Venezuela se hab\u00eda convertido en un pa\u00eds de creciente elaboraci\u00f3n de drogas. Ante esta acusaci\u00f3n, Maduro respondi\u00f3 y acus\u00f3 al pa\u00eds norteamericano de ser \u201cprofundamente injerencista\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
