Narco-politics

Narco-politics refers to the influence that drug cartels and criminal organizations exert over political institutions and officials. When drug traffickers gain power or money, they can sway politicians, law enforcement, and government agencies to protect their activities or avoid prosecution. This creates a corrupt system where legal governance becomes compromised by criminal interests, undermining rule of law and public trust. Essentially, narco-politics blurs the line between crime and politics, allowing illegal drug trade to impact national stability and governance.
