No he visto el comercial pero, en principio, me parece un exabrupto.<\/p>\n<p>Al establecer una conexi\u00f3n moral, e incluso criminal, entre consumidores y &#8216;narcos&#8217;, el Vicepresidente confunde la causa con la culpa. Puede haber una relaci\u00f3n causal entre el dinero que pagan los consumidores y la violencia en Colombia. Pero eso no significa que los consumidores sean los culpables de la violencia. Los culpables son las mafias, los pol\u00edticos corruptos, los sicarios, los paramilitares, los bancos que blanquean el dinero sucio, los terratenientes c\u00f3mplices, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Insinuar que la modelo Kate Moss, por el hecho de consumir coca\u00edna, tiene responsabilidad en los muertos de la guerra narcotizada que vive Colombia es tan forzado como responsabilizar a los conductores de carro por el calentamiento del planeta. No es que estos no tengan nada que ver. Ellos ocasionan un grave da\u00f1o ecol\u00f3gico. Pero no son los responsables. Eso no quiere decir que no sea buena una campa\u00f1a para desincentivar el uso del carro con el argumento de que la Tierra se est\u00e1 calentando.<\/p>\n<p>Algo as\u00ed pasa con las drogas. Es posible -poco probable eso s\u00ed- que quien consume drogas il\u00edcitas deje de hacerlo cuando se entere de que su dinero contribuye a reproducir una guerra lejana. Pero en ese caso, no lo har\u00eda por sentirse culpable -como no se siente culpable de explotaci\u00f3n infantil quien compra zapatos hechos por ni\u00f1os en Pakist\u00e1n- sino para evitar ser parte de la cadena causal de esa guerra.<\/p>\n<p>La guerra de la droga no existe porque hay consumidores -siempre los habr\u00e1- sino porque es ilegal. La causa de la guerra es la prohibici\u00f3n. De all\u00ed nace el negocio mortal, no del consumo. Por eso, si de establecer responsabilidades se trata, los gobiernos lo son por el dise\u00f1o de pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas como las actuales contra las drogas il\u00edcitas, que causan m\u00e1s da\u00f1o social -guerra, violencia, corrupci\u00f3n- que beneficios en salud p\u00fablica.<\/p>\n<p>Pero supongamos que yo est\u00e9 equivocado y que la cruzada contra la coca\u00edna est\u00e9 moral y pol\u00edticamente justificada. Aun as\u00ed, la publicidad del Vicepresidente es un desprop\u00f3sito. Para los prohibicionistas, el Estado no s\u00f3lo tiene la obligaci\u00f3n de proteger la vida sino el derecho de sancionar a quien voluntariamente quiere hacerse da\u00f1o. Yo no creo que el Estado tenga ese derecho; sin embargo, acepto que el tema es discutible. Pero la propaganda de Santos va mucho m\u00e1s all\u00e1. No s\u00f3lo condena a los consumidores por atentar contra sus vidas, es decir, por suicidas, sino por atentar contra la vida de otros que ni siquiera conocen, es decir, por asesinos.<\/p>\n<p>Estoy de acuerdo con que el Gobierno debe ventilar el problema de nuestra guerra como un problema mundial y que la publicidad es un buen medio para lograrlo. Hay razones m\u00e1s que suficientes para denunciar lo que nos pasa. Es injusto que el narcotr\u00e1fico colombiano est\u00e9 internacionalizado como problema pero nacionalizado como soluci\u00f3n. El dinero &#8216;narco&#8217; que nos viene del exterior est\u00e1 destruyendo nuestras instituciones y es poco lo que podemos hacer para evitarlo mientras semejante riqueza ilegal siga ingresando al pa\u00eds como Pedro por su casa.<\/p>\n<p>Por eso, creo que Colombia deber\u00eda empezar a proponer, con inteligencia, con prudencia y con la autoridad moral que le dan sus millones de v\u00edctimas, la eliminaci\u00f3n de la actual pol\u00edtica prohibicionista.<\/p>\n<p>Lo que hace el Vicepresidente es justamente lo contrario. Es atizar -como dice \u00c1lvaro Camacho- el esp\u00edritu prohibicionista estadounidense en Europa. Y ya sabemos que por esa v\u00eda no se acaba la guerra, sino que se reproduce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vice President Santos, launches an advertising campaign in Europe, in which he suggests a relationship between consumers and drugs, confusing the cause with the fault, and he declares that this type of advertising pokes the American prohibitionist spirit in Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","medium-el-tiempo-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
