Jhon Jairo Velásquez Vásquez, aka “Popeye,” was the chief assassin for infamous Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar’s Medellín cartel.
Vásquez is also one of the few surviving members of the cartel’s upper ranks, which likely gives him a unique perspective on the havoc that the drug war wreaks on countries, their governments, and their people.
According to Popeye, the recent escape of Mexican drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán — like Pablo Escobar’s flight from justice — has undermined his country’s institutions and the administration of Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.
And, as Popeye told Mexican news magazine Proceso in August, Guzmán’s ability to flaunt the law enhances the threat he poses to his country’s political class.
