Colombia to Erase Pablo Escobar from Tourist Souvenirs? | Firstpost America | N18G
Pablo Escobar’s name still lingers in Colombia—not through violence, but on T-shirts, mugs, and keychains sold to tourists. A new bill in Colombia’s Congress seeks to ban all Escobar-themed merchandise, aiming to end the glorification of the infamous drug lord. While supporters argue it’s a step toward honouring victims, vendors fear losing their income, as some rely heavily on these sales. A Colombian resident, who lost his father in an Escobar-ordered bombing, believes education is key. His project narcostore.com exposes Escobar’s true legacy. As the bill moves through Congress, Colombia faces a question—should Escobar be remembered as history or erased as a stain?
