WASHINGTON DC, 25th July. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Wednesday has said the main problem facing the US is social decomposition, which has led to widespread drug abuse among its youth.
Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador urged the US government to improve policies regarding the youth and address the causes that lead to drug addiction and the use of narcotics such as fentanyl in his daily press conference.
The drug crisis in the US is linked to the “loss of values,” Lopez Obrador told reporters at the National Palace in Mexico City, media reported.
“I think they began to forget about that, and individualism, materialism and consumerism began to predominate, and that is part of the crisis,” he said, adding it “is not an easy issue to resolve… they must address the causes”.
He said that unlike the US, Mexico preserves many of its traditions and family values, which strengthen society.
Lopez Obrador called on the US government to stop blaming Mexican migrants for its drug problems and address the “vacuum” left by family disintegration.
