The government of Guatemala has promised to tackle the high
murder rate of a country living under the threat of gangs,
organised crime and drug traffickers. Some have expressed fears
that it could become a narco-state, with state institutions that
are weak or corrupted by criminal activity. When President Otto
Perez Molina took office just over a year ago he said the war on
drugs has failed and that it is time to consider decriminalising
them. Hardtalk speaks to the newly appointed Foreign Minister of
Guatemala, Fernando Carrera.
