Sorry, I've been travelling all day and haven't had much internet access. A few thoughts:
I still don't understand Perez' talk of decriminalization. While he did bring the issue up a month ago, it sure sounds likes blindsided the US. He's free to do what he wants, but that's not the way to get the United States to enter into a dialogue with you. Wouldn't you want to build some silent support for such an initiative before moving forward? And will this weaken him over the next four years?
Drug usage has apparently decreased in recent years. However, it was so high to begin with that I guess people don't notice. That sort of reminds me of the murder rate in Guatemala. People dismiss the reductions of murders and drug usage over the last few years.
I haven't gotten to read that much but are people saying that Funes changed his mind because of US pressure?
Boz has some interesting thoughts here.
