Today host Cody Weddle speaks with Simon Arrechider, the Director of the Municipal Anti-Drug Office in Caracas, founded in 2007 after former President Hugo Chavez kicked the DEA out of Venezuela and took charge of the fight against drugs. First, it is important to see how drugs have been used for the control and domination of the peoples of the American Empire and to understand their political and economic use, says Arrechider. In this context, he describes the practical drug prevention and treatment programs that his office implements and the major achievements Venezuela has made in this struggle. teleSUR
