He said a handful of lawyers and other people including some online media operators who depend on the money of drug traffickers are engaged in efforts  to disrupt the ongoing operation. The Minister also mentioned various insults made through social media, various complaints to the international community together with some representatives of non-governmental organizations are the main ones.
