Ex-Mexican president blames violence on Colombian drugs

Colombia news - vicente fox

Former Mexican President Vincente Fox says that the violence in Mexico is fueled by the constant supply of drugs from Colombia and Venezuela, newspaper El Espectador reported Tuesday.

Speaking at a university seminar in Santiago, Dominican Republic, Fox said “I am referring to Colombia which continues to produce lots of drugs, and I am referring to Venezuela which continues to facilitate drug trafficking,” said Fox.

The ex-president went on to say, “It seems as if there is an association between Hugo Chavez and the theme of the cartels and drugs.”

Fox and Chavez have had a history of political head-butting, and in 2005 Fox threatened to cut off all diplomatic ties with Venezuela.

Vincente Fox was the president of Mexico from 2000 to 2006.
