INTERVIEW. Drug war does not stop De Wever: “Ecuador begs us to come visit” | Drug war in Antwerp

Bart De Wever continues to lead the war on drugs and will therefore travel with his colleagues from Rotterdam and Hamburg to Latin America on Sunday. The mayors visit Ecuador, which is plagued by drug violence. It remains to be seen whether all potential interlocutors will still be alive when the Antwerp delegation arrives. A prosecutor who fights ‘narcos’ in the port city of Guayaquil was riddled with bullets in the street last week. “And yet Ecuador begs for us to come,” says De Wever.
