DR is losing war against drugs
According to Leopoldo Diaz of the Hogares Crea Dominicano drug rehabilitation centers, in 40 years the DR has been losing the war against drugs. He said that the government, church, professionals and politicians are indifferent to the scourge, as reported in Hoy.
He said the country has gone from being a transshipment point, to a market, distribution center and laboratory for the production of drugs.
He criticized civil society organizations for never speaking out against drugs.
He said that the evidence is in the increase in children as young as eight, ten or 12 using and selling drugs.
He criticized the lack of government investment in the rehabilitation of drug victims. He said that Hogares Crea Dominicano helped 1,200 people every year at their 42 centers.
