Colombia promotes weedkiller as solution to armed conflict
December 13, 2020
Colombia’s defense minister on Saturday used a massacre to promote herbicide glyphosate as a solution to increased violence and armed conflict.
In a press conference, controversial Defense Minister Carlos Holmes Trujillo claimed that the country’s 81st massacre this year is due to “that damn drug trafficking.”
The alleged “disaster” of a minister went on to promote glyphosate as if the the notoriously ineffective aerial spraying of coca would improve public security.
President Ivan Duque is under increasing pressure for failing to comply with a 2016 peace deal with demobilized FARC guerrillas that would allow the dismantling of paramilitary groups.
