Narco-mar. Chapter 69. The narco-politicians.


The atmosphere at the table in that restaurant, next to the house that was once the most famous drug trafficker in Colombia, became tense after Pinche Cabrón, the Ecuadorian resident in New Mexico, said that Máxima's father had studied in Russia and he was a sympathizer of the president.

The electoral campaign for the new elections of 2017 was already underway. The official candidate was a disabled person who was vice president from 2008 to 2012 and who had the support of the president who had been in power for 10 years.

The contender was a banker, who had been part of the president's government that produced the largest bank failure and emigration of Ecuadorians abroad, but he was a billionaire who had the backing of the US embassy, ​​the mainstream media, and CNN, when in the United States, the extreme right under Donald Trump, had returned to power after 8 years of Obama's government.

-It is that the government candidate is a rogue who has led a lavish life in Switzerland, as the president's representative to the UN for the disabled, he has bank accounts in tax havens as a result of the robbery he has done in the government - said that boy who studied in Ukraine the son of a shrimp entrepreneur, with a 100-hectare shrimp farm, near Puerto Viejo, where Dr. Maxima was almost run over by a boat from that shrimp farm, which was fleeing from the police.

-If you have evidence, file a complaint with the Comptroller, it is a crime of public action, what you affirm, that means that anyone can report it, and that the Comptroller must investigate, but if not, then it is just gossip.

Those words of Dr. Umiña, infuriated the owner of the restaurant and the two young people, so that Dr. Umiña chose to get up from the table.

- Forgive me for abandoning you, but I want to talk to the American acupuncturist who invited us.

He left the living room on the beach where Jesse, the American, was talking with Máxima. But this further irritated the bellicose boys and the restaurant owner, who were fired up by the cocaine and alcohol he had ingested.

On the beach there was a less tense atmosphere, and the sea breeze was delicious within those enormous darkness, which was filled with the sound of the waves of the Pacific, which came to break on the sand.

-It seems that they are very angry -Maxima commented returning to see the restaurant, where the political conversation continued in an euphoric tone like a runaway horse.

"We'd better talk about something else," said Dr. Umiña, who asked the acupuncturist. "My daughter told me that she is here to manage our friend Pinche Cabrón's hotel, but he lives up to her name.

-We have been friends for years, he bought my property in Santa Fe, and then he offered me this job. But the hotel needs repairs and I don't know when it's going to work

- The earthquake was something tremendous.

. When can we start classes, Máxima asked.

. Whenever you want.

-I am going to organize my time so that it is on the nights from Tuesday to Thursday, because on Monday I am very tired, I travel on Sunday nights from Quito, then I work and sleep on the bus is almost impossible, and on Fridays I travel to Quito to be with my daughter and my family on Saturday and Sunday,

-OK on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night

. But remember an hour of Spanish for an hour of acupuncture.

- Well, tomorrow I have work and I want to talk online with my daughter. You forgive me. I'm going.

-Happy birthday daughter- said Dr. Umiña.

"Sure Happy Birthday!" Jesse yelled as he said goodbye with a hug.

Dr. Umiña stayed talking for a minute more and then he also said goodbye.

On the way, just before reaching a pedestrian bridge over the narrow river of San Medardo, the boy who had studied in Ukraine and the owner of the restaurant appeared.

- Being a son of a bitch friend of the government- we're going to get the shit out of you right now.

Those individuals were under the influence of cocaine and alcohol that they had taken. Dr. Umiña thought it better to ignore them and continue on his way, but a bottle hit on the back of his neck. The chef and restaurant owner treacherously hit him with the bottle containing the alcohol they were drinking and at that moment the young man who studied in Ucracnia grabbed him by the neck.

Narcomar, to Chamanga 2012

Narcomar, 2012 to Chamanga After a wait of half an hour, the bus left El Salto for Chamanga, the last parish before crossing the bridge over the Cojimíes River, which separates the provinces of Manabí and Esmeraldas, which is within the Mache Chindul Reserve. With ballads by Marco Antonio Solis and the bustle of Argentine boys, who felt euphoric to be so far from their country, exploring these green and tropical landscapes of the South American Pacific, the bus moved along a new highway, with almost no traffic. Through the window you could see how the mangroves and shrimp farms appeared and disappeared on the side where she was sitting, as well as the sea, while on the other side the pastures, the zebu or brahaman cattle, rose and fell by rounded and small hills. The story that his father told him came to his memory, that on a day like today in 2005 when in the company of Juan Carlos, a friend of the family, he came to stop the logging, accompanied by policemen and the security cameras

NARCO-MAR. Chapter 63. The Earthquake and the Possessed

Imagen
The earthquake was the most frightening event that the southern coast of La Esperanza and the north of El Maní experienced. The psychological effect was more severe than the physical effect. Tall buildings were collapsing or cracking and these buildings had become the symbol of economic power. The wood and zinc hovels of the poor were less spoiled than the opulent mansions, the luxurious cement villas of the millionaires, who had them for vacationing or living in a private oceanfront paradise. More than 700 dead people were counted, but schools, colleges, hospitals, roads and businesses collapsed. The president of the country who was traveling immediately arrived at the disaster area. Unlike other earthquakes in the Pacific, it originated a few kilometers from Pedernales, but destroyed buildings along 1000 km of the coast of Ecuador. These earthquakes, frequent in the South American Pacific, have to do with the collision of the tectonic plates, in which the Pacific plate and the South

17. The narco-shrimp farms

At 6 p.m., Máxima was back in Puerto Nuevo, which seemed to her a peaceful town, since most of the settlers were peasants who went during the day to take care of their animals and their farms. That afternoon, as never before, the Sucio River seemed cleaner than usual, since it was usually full of sticks, and more things that she dragged from her.
