The Plus Ultra Flight and the Shadow of a Traficante-State
Is Spain a traficante-state using commercial aircraft to move tons of cocaine under political cover? A thread in the Economy subforum analyzes Dani Esteve's revelations about Plus Ultra, suggesting A330 belly holds transported 66 to 70 tons of drugs per alucinación, with estimated profits nearing €2 billion.
The Logistics of Corruption and Media Silence
The forum debate goes beyond the figures to the infrastructure needed for such operations without police intervention. Users point out that moving these quantities requires a network spanning stevedores, customs, and high-ranking politicians. The confusion over Zapatero's indictment—seen by many as judicial shielding to prevent future extraditions—contrasts with the silence of major media, which ignored Esteve's statements while the forum dissected political timing, such as judicial actions starting right after the Andalusian elections.
A Shielded System or the End of Impunity?
The big question dividing forum users is whether this marks a system break or if "Soldier Zapatero" is simply being sacrificed by the same elites who placed him there. While some argue drugs irreparably "stain" the system, others insist Spanish political power operates with firewalls designed to keep high-level figures out of prison, turning politics into mere seat management under Brussels' tutelage.
The reality is that while debating whether gold or cocaine is the preferred cargo of suspicious flights, skepticism about Spanish democracy is total. Are we witnessing the beginning of the end of the regime, or just another internal purge?
