Money Machajmarca Pantipata and two clear examples of communities living in the shadow of drug trafficking.

Cochabamba / Los Tiempos .- The drug breaks into at least 27 communities where the activity has gained momentum and has resulted in the destruction of factories that process the method Colombian drug.

Pantipata (Vint) and Machajmarca (Pocono), two strengths of cocaine, are part of the fabric that the drug has risen in Cochabamba, now converted into a vast laboratory of drug manufacturing facilities from the Tunari to Colomi and wrapped by a sense of economic prosperity that presumes that people have passed the threshold of poverty, the analyst concluded the phenomenon coca and cocaine in Bolivia at the Institute of Social and Economic Studies (IESE) of San Simon Fernando Salazar.

coordinator of the Office of Controlled Substances, Claudia Mancilla, said: "The people who engage in drug trafficking comes in combination with the condition that they will give a fee to allow coca collect, use their land, and the people who identify with it and even defend them. " "It's a social phenomenon. Pantipata was a sadness ten years ago and has slowly been improving. Is a social problem. This requires resources: people are making money. We have tried to enter the community to raise awareness, but we are not allowed. But we're going to try again.

In the upper valley, the destruction of cocaine factories is ongoing. One of the worst affected areas is Tarata, where the Special Force against Drug Trafficking (FELCN) has been found in several their communities factories with a capacity to process between one and two kilos per week.

Factories have also proliferated in the heights of the Cordillera del Tunari, especially by the abundance of water springs. In 2009, a group of volunteers found abandoned factories there with a lot of waste, including crushed coca.

In Capinota, factories have been installed in inhospitable areas and impoverished communities, but where there is cell phone signal, presumably to warn the traffickers about risks, such as police checks.

Until five years ago, Pantipata, one of the emblematic cases, was a larger community on the heights of Vinto and, like many, saw an exodus of its inhabitants to the Chapare. When cocaine became less contested in the tropics, Pantipata again filled with people. Today is one of the people living in the shadow of drug trafficking, according to the operational in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

The rise of drug trafficking in communities and their acceptance is attributed to the close relationship of the people with the production of coca, the event was repeated in Machajmarca Pantipata, where in 2009 it was found that at least 60 percent of the people was involved with the production of cocaine with factory installed near the town.

About the influence of drug trafficking in the community, the head of the FELCN said: "In Pantipata, the incidence of drug trafficking is very low. Have been detected vehicles that were transporting raw materials and controlled substance. That means that the road does not end Pantipata: go much deeper. "

" If there is drug because there is poverty. In the only region where there is real potential for development is the tropics. Each municipality has at least one industry, "he said Salazar.
