Felipe Cáceres
Felipe Cáceres is a Bolivian politician who served as the Deputy Minister of Social Defense. He has been involved in discussions regarding drug trafficking in Bolivia, often asserting that while international drug cartels may send emissaries into the country, there are no established drug cartels operating within its borders. He has faced scrutiny for his statements regarding the presence of Brazilian and Mexican drug lords in Bolivia, as well as for downplaying the influence of organized crime in the region.
