WILCHES TINJACA, Jaime Andrés; RUIZ COLLANTES, Xavier e GUERRERO SIERRA, Hugo Fernando. STATES IN PANDEMICS AND REINVENTED NARCO-POPULISMS: CONSOLIDATION OF THE “NARCO” AS A DRIVER OF ILLEGAL BUT LEGITIMATE SOCIETIES. anal.polit. [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.100, pp.146-166. Epub 05-Abr-2021. ISSN 0121-4705. https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v33n100.93409.
The pandemic caused by the Covid-19, once again demonstrated the fragility of Latin American States to implement an economic and political model that guarantees the fundamental rights of society. On the contrary the drug trafficking economy has reaffirmed its capacity to adapt to this health crisis. As a result, the leaders or “capos” of the “narco” world have managed to reassert themselves as a structure that exercises indiscriminate violence to guarantee the success of illegal markets, but which is legitimized by a large sector of citizenship, to the extent that it is compensated with an assistive style and a populist discourse that preaches the need to take the risks of this model, at the inability of the State to guarantee legal economies in times of restrictions and confinement. In response to this phenomenon, the state institutions insist on the moralization of the phenomenon and ignoring - in other cases they prefer silent coexistence -, the global markets, the logistics processes and the complicity network that assume the risk of the business, but also its lucrative profits for the survival in times of coronavirus.
