You will remember a few days ago, we wrote about the Guatemalan government suspending constitutional rights in the country in order to execute their war on drugs.

In an operation to eradicate elements of the drug trade on their border with Mexico, the government revoked certain constitutional rights such as the right to hold demonstrations and meetings as well as expanding the rights of the authorities to conduct searches. So too, the press was warned to keep their “rebellion inciting” behaviour to a minimum.

Well, low and behold, the operation has been a staggering success!

According tos reports, 15 million poppy plants had been destroyed by Saturday, according to an anouncement by the government.

With such strong measures being taken by the government, is anybody truly surprised that the propaganda department has flown into ful swing in their efforts to convince everyone of the success of those measures?
