#OrganizedCrime Is a First-Order Problem for #LAC Because It is a Growing Barrier to #Development and it's the @WorldBank in a recent report saying so!

Mejor en 🧵 que en vivo donde interrumpen todo el tiempo. Aquí @lucas_marinll resume la evidencia disponible sobre los programas de desarrollo alternativo. El problema del nuevo programa en el Catatumbo es que repite errores del pasado y no resuelve lo que pretende resolver 👇🏾
