The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, assured this Saturday that his country has the “moral obligation” to participate in the fight against fentanyl in the United States.
“We have a moral obligation and out of humanism, we must participate in the fight against fentanyl consumption in the United States,” said López Obrador at the closing of the Latin American and Caribbean Conference on Drugs being held in the Colombian city of Cali.
He added: “It is a pandemic that they are facing, it is not just a quantitative issue, it does not mean that 100 thousand young people lose their lives every year due to the consumption of fentanyl and turning our backs and saying we don’t care. We have to act with humanism and understand that regardless of our differences (…) there are human rights“
