The leader of the deputies highlighted the analysis of this congressional session on crimes such as drug trafficking and other issues that the Congress offers “as instruments to the bodies in charge of fighting against illegal activities”, El Mundo reported.

Arias reminded that the government “also has the most important task, the preventive one, to provide resources for the education of young people, to provide them with better job opportunities and to get them out of poverty, so that they have other options in life than resorting to these criminal organizations”.

We are working on security and drug trafficking, as we agreed in the meeting of the Three Powers on August 13, Arias commented, although without mentioning the problem of homicides, which have already exceeded 550 so far this year and are the main cause of concern for the Ticos.
