Source text - Spanish Afirma el Ministro del Interior y de Justicia, Sabas Pretelt de la Vega que, "el problema radica en que hay que fumigar varias veces los mismos lugares, los cultivos se expanden y se corren y los bandidos se modernizan". De ello estábamos advertidos hace rato; distintos estudios muestran los estragos del "efecto globo", que no es más que el desplazamiento de los cultivos a consecuencia de las fumigaciones, que migran de unas regiones a otras dentro de un mismo país, como ha ocurrido en Colombia o entre unos y otros países de la región. Según Sergio Calvani, representante en Colombia de la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas contra la Droga y el Delito, el 65% de los cultivos que se erradican se vuelve a sembrar, muchas veces con variedades resistentes al glifosato.
Translation - English Colombian Interior and Justice Minister, Sabas Pretelt de la Vega, maintains that "the problem lies in having to repeatedly fumigate the same areas, whilst crops continue to multiply and criminals become increasingly sophisticated in their methods". Recent studies have warned of the havoc wreaked by the “balloon effect”: that is, when crops are eradicated as a result of fumigation, they simply migrate to other regions of Colombia and neighbouring countries. According to Sergio Calvani, Colombian representative for the UN Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention, 65% of eradicated crops are being resown and often mutate to form a higher resistance to glyphosate.
