These ZEDES seem bad. But what do you want hacker news to do? It seems like illegal real estate development and stealing of people's land, but that is different than narco traffickers taking over your government. Can you give more info about what is happening to connect the pieces? In the us we sometimes have politically connected companies trying similar 'steal the land' for some commercial purpose, it's terrible, it's not drug smugglers taking over.
- shkkmo 5y agoThe key difference is that this land is not just being stolen, but also being given special legal status that exempts it from national laws. This is being done in a country where the cartels have more power than the corporations, in an area that had a long history of being used by smugglers and drugs traffickers.
