Pablo Escobar

Hi bloggers? Have you seen Narcos?

I would like to start by saying that this character has only caused pain, suffering, and crime, in the history of Colombia.

Pablo Escobar was a cocaine trafficker. I am very interested in this man because he made a fortune. As you can see, I am not exaggerating, because this narco earned 60$ million a day and 5.000$ million a year.

Before being recognized as the creator of the Cartel of Medellín, he first made alliances with Gonzalo Rodríguez Gacha, Carlos Lehder and Jorge Luis Ochoa. Thanks to this union, he managed to create an organization that controlled the production and the consumption of more than 80% of the cocaine world production.To clear your mind, at the beginning of the 80s, he began to build schools, give money and create houses. With these actions, people in Colombia voted for him and he arrived at the National Congress in 1982. Nevertheless, a photo that showed him in a corrupted police station asking for more money changed everything. The photo was published in the newspaper of the Spectator, so he was removed from his post. Months later, his accuser, Lara Bonilla and Guillermo Cano, director of El Espectador, were assassinated following Escobar’s orders.

This story is very long, I think that you never have to get into the world of drugs or crime. It is necessary to follow the rules, respect people and not to make the chaos committed by Pablo Escobar.
