Europe is grappling with a surge in drug trafficking, particularly cocaine, which has led to increased drug-related violence and gang wars across the continent. Politicians are being forced to confront this escalating issue as authorities report a 25% spike in drug seizures last year. The cocaine superhighway is becoming a major concern, with large quantities of the drug making their way to Europe via land routes through North Africa and the Sahel belt. In 2023, Spanish authorities made significant cocaine seizures in the port of Algeciras, highlighting the need for enhanced cross-border cooperation to combat the problem.
