I am not at all defending her. Communists aren't even human imo. That being said, I can't imagine the constant pressure of knowing that you are grossly incompetent and completely unfit for the position you hold...which is a very high profile and important job that impacts millions of people. Not being ready for the big stage and all of the cameras, and knowing it. She has to know that she is an inexperienced little girl who has no business managing an HEB, much less one of the largest counties in the country. I could see how the weight of that could drive someone to addiction or mental illness.
I hope she gets the help she needs, then goes back to Colombia for good.
